A quietly immersive experience of stepping through a real person's diary entries and memories, unfolding at a gentle, introspective pace.

What players say

Players deeply respect the autobiographical story but split on the execution. The narrative is called harrowing and raw, with strong voice acting. However, many say the gameplay is janky, the price is too high for the length, and bugs like misplaced subtitles and getting stuck interrupt the experience.
