How it feels
A quiet, oppressive visual novel where silence and isolation slowly become a tangible horror.

What players say
Players describe a very short, cryptic visual novel that successfully captures paranoia and the blur between dream and reality. It has no gameplay beyond clicking through dialogue, and some find it too brief for the full price.
