How it feels

A lighthearted yet dramatic detective story set in a colorful pixel-art city where you unravel a mystery through exploration and dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and dragon designs, but warn that this cute-looking adventure turns into a tragedy with no fully happy ending. The gimmick of licking and booping everything is charming. Some note the ending feels abrupt or unsatisfying, and a few are split on whether the story holds together.
