A quiet, introspective interactive narrative that slowly unfolds the fragile disconnects in a relationship through sparse, contemplative exploration.

What players say
Players describe a very short game about a couple breaking up, completed in 15 to 45 minutes. The voice acting and atmosphere are praised, but the dialogue choices barely change the story. Fans of philosophy find it thought-provoking, while others call it pretentious or unclear.
