How it feels

A poignant, melancholic walk through a family's tragic history, where each story unfolds through intimate, handcrafted vignettes.

What players say

Players praise the inventive storytelling and the way each family member's tale has its own gameplay style, but warn it is emotionally heavy and can be distressing if you are sensitive to themes of suicide or depression. The game is short, around two to three hours, and while some find it deeply resonant, others say the story did not personally connect with them.
