How it feels

A short, introspective puzzle adventure with a haunting atmosphere, where a woman returns to a forest and uncovers unsettling truths through cryptic encounters.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and dark fairy-tale atmosphere but note the game lacks manual saving, has a pixely death screen, and environments feel empty. It is short with two endings, and opinions split on whether it is memorable enough to recommend.
