How it feels

A calm, meditative walk through a pixelated graveyard, reading epitaphs and reflecting on the stories of the departed.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a game at all, calling it more of an interactive art project or walking simulator. Those who enjoy it find it relaxing, cathartic, and unexpectedly moving, while others find it boring, empty, and lazy. The soundtrack is nearly universally praised.
