How it feels
A slow-paced, atmospheric exploration of a surreal, abandoned city where you solve kanji puzzles and collect items from corpses to recover lost memories.

What players say
Players describe it as a short, surreal puzzle-platformer with multiple endings and a great soundtrack. It teaches basic kanji through puzzles but has floaty, clunky platforming. The atmosphere is haunting, though the game is rough around the edges.
