How it feels
A surreal point-and-click adventure where you navigate absurd logic puzzles through a hand-drawn, noir-infused world that feels both comedic and unsettling.

What players say
Players say the puzzles are clever but often rely on moon logic, making hints feel necessary. The game is very short and visually charming, but players split on whether it captures Kafka's essence. Long-time fans of Kafka are especially disappointed, while puzzle enthusiasts may enjoy the challenge.
