How it feels

A slow-burn psychological horror that feels unsettling and oppressive as you explore a bleak, pixelated world driven by a story of personal struggle and supernatural dread.

What players say

Players praise the story's handling of heavy topics, multiple endings, and memorable characters. Some find the controls confusing and the puzzles require a walkthrough, while others say the jump scares and chase sequences can be frustrating. Fans of the RPG Maker horror genre compare it favorably to Ib and The Witch's House.
