How it feels

A nostalgic yet eerie pixel-art adventure where a timid boy explores a mysterious mansion in a strange forest to find his lost sister.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to old freeware horror RPGs: cute chibi characters hide frequent, unfair deaths and a real-time time limit that can force restarts. Reviews split on whether the sparse hints and trial-and-error design are rewarding or frustrating, but agree it is free and runs under two hours for one ending.
