How it feels

A quiet, melancholic mystery where you piece together fragmented memories in a liminal café space.

What players say

Players say this is a short visual novel at around 2 hours, but you have to replay it four times to see the true ending, which gets repetitive despite the skip button. The art and dialogue receive criticism, while the story is described as decent but predictable. There is strong frustration that voice acting is sold as separate DLC.
