How it feels

A quirky, darkly comedic puzzle adventure with a surreal pixel art feel.

What players say

Players praise the absurdist humor and weird puzzles, but note a lack of Chinese localization. Many get sidetracked by addictive minigames like minesweeper. The game is short, around 6-15 hours, and despite Bilibili fame, it remains obscure enough that Steam doesn't track its achievements.
