How it feels

A moody, pixel-art driven 2D platformer that feels like a somber detective thriller, weaving psychological horror and emotional drama through its atmospheric world.

What players say

Players report a short RPG Maker adventure plagued by bugs and poor translation, especially a chess puzzle stuck in Mandarin. Sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, not about the play but about the developer slashing the price from 28 to 11 yuan within a month and disbanding the community, which early buyers call a betrayal.
