How it feels

A contemplative, dialogue-heavy journey through a surreal dream-infused city, where philosophical questions are pondered at a measured pace.

What players say

Players praise the witty writing and creative worldbuilding, but split on the combat: some call it a clever verbal argument system, others see renamed JRPG tropes. Puzzles frustrate as often as they delight. The hand-drawn art is widely called ugly, and the true ending earns strong praise.
