How it feels

A narrative-driven puzzle game where you must carefully choose which short memories to keep to unravel a mystery within a five-minute loop.

What players say

Players praise the premise of carrying only five memories per loop, but many find it impractically hard without the built-in hint system. The story earns a strong response, especially the true ending, though the overall plot is considered simple. Full voice acting adds charm in an otherwise repetitive grind.
