How it feels

A slow, contemplative walk through a misty wilderness, guided by a fox spirit, with a focus on introspection and quiet discovery.

What players say

Players describe this as a meditative walking sim where you lose all carried items when you die, forcing backtracking that some find tedious. The atmosphere, music, and conversations with a fox character are widely praised, while the lack of hand-holding and stealth sections frustrate some. Reviews split on whether the death penalty adds meaning or just annoyance.
