How it feels

A slow, atmospheric point-and-click adventure where you navigate a war-torn world through sorrowful exploration and puzzle-solving, feeling the weight of a soldier's loneliness and grief.

What players say

Players describe it as a poignant point-and-click that reflects the reality of war in Ukraine, with an oppressive atmosphere and a story that is more document than game. The first chapter is short and puzzles are easy, but reviewers appreciate the built-in hint system and minimal backtracking. Some find the voice acting flat or robotic, and a few note minor grammar errors.
