How it feels

A short, emotionally charged visual novel with a melodramatic story and gorgeous retro pixel art that feels like a bittersweet journey of loss and escape.

What players say

Players call this a very short kinetic novel with no player choices, taking about an hour to read. The PC-98-inspired pixel art and dark, eerie music are praised, but several reviewers note the lack of a text log or auto-scroll makes it easy to skip lines. The story is emotionally heavy and deals with war and guilt, though some find the character development and pacing disjointed.
