How it feels

A lonely, contemplative point-and-click journey through a desolate future city, where puzzle-solving and dialogue slowly unfold a personal destiny.

What players say

Players find it more a demo than a full game: it is very short, the story is barely there despite a promising premise, and puzzles swing from easy to frustrating with little help. The hand-drawn art and atmosphere are praised, but the English translation feels rough and the lack of logical puzzle design holds it back.
