How it feels
A slow-burn, moral mystery where every decision carries weight and the tension of a cursed time-loop keeps you questioning everyone's motives.

What players say
Players praise the writing and time loop mechanics that recall Outer Wilds, with an interconnected world where choices affect events. The four endings split opinion: some love how choices matter, others hate the canon ending. The game is short, about 7 to 10 hours, and built from a Skyrim mod.
