How it feels

Exploring a faded future where every quiet ruin and weathered screen hums with lost meaning, the game feels like a slow, contemplative walk through a museum of yesterday's tomorrows.

What players say

Players praise the unique South African post-apocalyptic setting, beautiful art, and deep worldbuilding. However many get frustrated by a lack of direction, with easy puzzles but a story that's easy to lose track of without a quest log.
