A sprawling, dense visual novel that feels like unraveling a cryptic, emotionally charged puzzle in a stormy, isolated mansion.

What players say

Players are split on the answer arcs: some find the ending ambiguous and frustrating rather than giving clear closure, while others call the full story life-changing and emotionally powerful. Many note the slow pacing and very long length, and some feel episode 8 drags with boring sections despite a strong conclusion.
