How it feels

a meditative, experimental card-stacking game where you gently manipulate and merge cards to unfold quiet, slice-of-life stories about school, work, and unemployment.

What players say

Players appreciate the developer's first game for its heartfelt storytelling, especially the relatable chapters about school, work, and unemployment. However, they note rough minimalist visuals, a lack of pause, and a game-breaking bug in the second chapter. Some find the auto-scrolling time pressure stressful with mouse controls.
