How it feels

A narrative-heavy visual novel with a dark, atmospheric Victorian fantasy setting, driven by mystery and character drama.

What players say

Players praise the watercolor art and Victorian vampire setting, but opinions split sharply on the writing. Some find the story charming and the characters likeable, while others call the dialogue clunky and exposition-heavy. The first half is often called slow, and the game is a short kinetic novel with no choices, playable in one sitting.
