How it feels

A text-heavy visual novel where you unravel a rural village's secrets through slow-paced dialogue and eerie, hand-drawn scenes.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a charming, cozy visual novel with laughs and a short runtime around 3 hours, while others criticize the AI-drawn art, janky translation, and a plot that feels underdeveloped. Long-time fans of the genre note the game's simple choices lead to quick endings, and the horror potential goes unrealized.
