How it feels

A short, emotionally charged visual novel where dialogue choices drive a tense mystery about revenge and suicide among game creators.

What players say

Players finish this revenge-themed visual novel in about one hour and say it has multiple endings but very few meaningful choices. The dynamic character portraits are widely considered stiff and awkward, and while the Japanese voice acting is praised, the story is called serviceable at best, predictable and shallow rather than clever.
