How it feels
A deeply personal and emotional journey where blinking controls the story's pacing, making every moment feel precious and fleeting.

What players say
Players say the webcam blink mechanic is central and novel, but it also forces them to fight their own tears, several report crying so hard the camera stopped tracking. The story is short, around one to two hours, and many call it a powerful narrative about mortality. Some warn of blurry screens or eye strain, especially for those with dry eyes.
