How it feels

A melancholic and unsettling conversation with a strange girl, piecing together a fractured story through quiet puzzles and hidden text.

What players say

Players call this a short, free visual novel with a cute cross-dimensional idol and good music. The password puzzles are a common frustration, and the inability to skip story or go fullscreen annoyed some. Minigames get repetitive, but those who connect with the game find it moving.
