How it feels

A slow, emotionally resonant visual novel with full voice acting, where the player drifts through a bittersweet, memory-laden summer story told through music and dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the piano soundtrack and art, but are split on the story: some find it touching and relaxing while others call it confusing and underdeveloped. The game is a short visual novel that takes about 1-2 hours to complete and is no longer available for purchase.
