How it feels

A narrative visual novel where you uncover secrets and build relationships through branching choices in a glamorous but sinister Parisian setting.

What players say

Players say the game is a short early-access visual novel with about 2 hours of content across two chapters. The dual storylines that blend modern Paris with a medieval fantasy book are praised, but reviewers consistently note the animations are stiff or basic, and many feel the current price is too high for what is offered.
