How it feels

A slow-paced, choice-driven visual novel with full voice acting, focusing on romance and suspense through text and click interactions.

What players say

Players praise the full voice acting and like the concept of a suspense dating sim with a mentally ill programmer protagonist, but nearly everyone agrees the story is too short and rushed, with a plot that jumps abruptly and feels incomplete. Many note the third romanceable character gets no real route, and a few criticize the art as having AI artifacts even after a redraw.
