How it feels

A tense, puzzle-like visual novel that feels like unraveling a dense, layered mystery while trapped in an oppressive, surreal space.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel. Many praise its intricate time-loop mystery and rewarding conclusion, but just as many criticize the verbose, robotic prose, flat characters, and a slow first chapter. The ending draws strong disagreement, with some finding it clever and others calling it ridiculous.
