How it feels

A quiet, click-forward horror novel that uses unsettling images and uncomfortable descriptions to create a lingering sense of unease.

What players say

A very short collection of four surreal horror visual novels built around disturbing artwork. Players say it is more about unsettling atmosphere and psychological dread than jump scares, with the strong, grotesque illustrations doing most of the work. Some warn it is over in under an hour and feels overpriced for the length, while others call it a solid bite-sized experience for fans of the genre.
