How it feels

A gentle, melancholic short story RPG where you uncover hidden secrets through dialogue and exploration, with a quiet, introspective atmosphere and no combat.

What players say

Players describe a short, free RPG Maker horror game with an atmospheric premise but poor guidance: you often wander without knowing where to go. The repeated jump-scare image on touching fire annoys many. There are multiple endings and some hidden files, though NPCs feel like decoration and the story leaves gaps.
