How it feels

A contemplative first-person puzzle adventure where you bend reality by placing photographs into the world to reshape the environment and uncover a mysterious story.

What players say

Players praise its creative photo-based puzzles and cozy atmosphere, but split on the story: some find it emotional while others say the writing and voice acting are bad. Many note it is short and never fully builds on its main mechanic, feeling more like a tech demo.
