How it feels

A short, emotionally intense visual novel blending romance and eerie magical realism with a surreal, psychedelic edge.

What players say

Players praise the unique art, music, and emotional story, but note it is very short (around 3 hours) and includes graphic internal organs. Some say the male lead gets too much focus, and the bad ending is hard to get. One reviewer realized it is a retelling of The Little Mermaid.
