How it feels

A slow-paced, atmospheric puzzle game where you unravel a family mystery through hidden clues and locked-room enigmas.

What players say

Players say the puzzles are creative but often require outside knowledge, like playing Ode to Joy on a piano, and hints can be too obscure. The fan-shaped cursor is a unique touch, but its slow response frustrates some. The game's Chinese-only story and art style are praised, though the difficulty leads many to rely on guides.
