How it feels
A darkly humorous and satirical kinetic visual novel where you overhear the absurd conversations of the undead, told through hand-drawn art and text.

What players say
Players call it a faithful visual novel of Dostoevsky's short story, with no branching or interactivity beyond clicking. It takes about half an hour to read, with classical piano and atmospheric art. Opinions split on value: some find it too short for the price, others appreciate the faithful translation and annotations.
