How it feels
A quiet, melancholic visual novel about gradual societal collapse and solitary survival, told through text and 2D art with a slow, contemplative pace.

What players say
Players praise the emotional payoff once the two seemingly separate stories connect, but warn that the first chapters are a slog. The tale pairs a pandemic that makes people vanish with an immortal girl, and fans of the developer's earlier work Narcissu will find similar melancholy and minimalistic art. Some find the voice acting off-putting initially.
