How it feels

You explore an abandoned house while listening to recorded memories, creating a quiet, somber, and deeply personal experience.

What players say

Players praise this short walking simulator for its personal WWII stories told in the grandmother's own voice. The main mechanic is photographing objects to trigger audio memories. Some find the horror elements unnecessary, and a few reviews note minor technical issues or confusion at first.
