How it feels
A slow, melancholy visual novel about depression and longing for change, told through text and pixel-art scenes.

What players say
Players praise the ASCII art and music, and note the game is very short, finishable in an hour. The story is simple and life-like, but the presentation creates an atmospheric feel. There is disagreement on story quality: a minority finds it bad.
