How it feels
A contemplative visual novel that immerses you in the daily grind of a teacher through branching dialogue and reflective decision-making.

What players say
Players describe it as more of an interactive case study than a game, with a short runtime and a heavy focus on real-world school bullying. Choices feel isolated from each other, and the story is praised for its authenticity but criticized as too shallow and brief. Some players find the tension more effective than horror games.
