How it feels

A slow-burn visual novel that combines cyberpunk atmosphere with introspective romance and moral tension.

What players say

Players praise the branching story and impactful choices, but many note the romance options feel limited and the skip feature is tedious. The game is short, with a cliffhanger ending that sets up a sequel.
