How it feels

A tense, moody adventure where navigating spooky environments and puzzling through conversations determines everyone's fate.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to classic RPG maker horror games like Ib and Yume Nikki. They praise the cute yet creepy tone and limited color palette, but some find the puzzles frustrating, especially one late-game puzzle that a few reviewers called unfair. Players are split on difficulty: some say puzzles strike a good balance, others find them overly obtuse.
