How it feels

A slow, melancholy visual novel where returning to a quiet hometown stirs anxiety and dread, with sudden bursts of graphic violence.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel. Many praise the emotional story and multiple endings, but others find the 200k-word script padded and the protagonist infuriatingly passive. The horror promised by the tags is minimal, with most of the experience being romance and slice of life. Comparisons to Higurashi are common.
