How it feels

A slow, emotionally heavy visual novel that feels like quietly navigating social isolation and unresolved pain through text and music.

What players say

Players report a very short visual novel about school bullying, but many are upset by a graphic cat death scene used as a plot device. The story feels rushed and forced, though the art and music are praised. Opinions split on whether the writing is thoughtless or has some merit.
