How it feels

A story-driven visual novel where you explore a collection of unsettling short tales through different perspectives, with a slow, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players like the first few urban-legend short stories, then split on the later chapters: many say the writing drags, the attempt to link them falls flat, and the sci-fi twist ending disappoints. Several note the game is mostly clicking through text with almost no player choice.
