How it feels

A short, contemplative visual novel where two strangers share a fleeting journey through a misty city, leaving a gentle warmth rather than dramatic change.

What players say

Players appreciate the warm story but hate the lack of a save feature, which forces blind choices into four endings. The game is very short, around 30-50 minutes, and reviewers note the CG art contradicts the season, with winter clothes at night and summer clothes in daytime. The UI is bare-bones, missing even text speed adjustment, and the music transitions are abrupt.
