How it feels

A slow, story-driven point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn black-and-white art, where you explore a Lovecraftian mystery guided by a companion, focusing on observation and deduction rather than jump scares.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and Lovecraftian atmosphere, but many find the story confusing even after finishing. Some report bugs that block progression. The short runtime (3–7 hours) and limited puzzle depth divide opinion: some enjoy the vibe, others wish for more substance and a less awkward English translation.
