How it feels

A nostalgic, surreal first-person puzzle game exploring painful family memories through dreamlike hand-drawn visuals and melancholic discovery.

What players say

Players call it a painful, realistic look at childhood trauma in a 1990s Chinese setting, with standout voice acting in Sichuan dialect. It is short (around 3 hours) and the puzzles are simple, but the emotional weight is heavy enough that some warn against playing if depressed. A few find the tragedy forced, and most agree the story is predictable.
