How it feels

A melancholic, surreal point-and-click puzzle adventure that blends psychological horror with heartrending introspection about love and ambition.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and relaxed puzzle difficulty, but many note the frequent backtracking between rooms without a map teleport option. The game includes a built-in notebook for recording clues, and the story about a father and son is called touching, though some find the dialogue cliché. It is a short experience with multiple endings.
