How it feels

A brief, atmospheric visual novel where you unravel a cryptic serial murder case while a surreal, looming fish imagery adds unease.

What players say

Players describe a short, free visual novel with a melancholic, rainy atmosphere and two bittersweet endings. The gray-scale art shifts to color only for one ending, and the whole experience takes about 1 to 2 hours. Some players find the story moving, while others call it boring or poorly paced.
