How it feels

A quiet, slice-of-life visual novel set in a sleepy Western town, where the protagonist yearns for adventure but finds it in small, character-driven moments rather than action.

What players say

Players describe this as a kinetic novel presented like a comic book with no player choices. The western fantasy setting is considered unique, but opinions are split on the story: some find it predictable and the ending unsatisfying, while others appreciate it for what it is.
