How it feels

A tense and darkly cute visual novel where you gamble your remaining time in a high-stakes card game against a mysterious figure.

What players say

Players describe a short, emotionally warm card game with an Inscryption-like feel. The core is a simple draw-and-predict game, but the story's gentle, uplifting tone and the character of Alice win people over. Some note the last chapters are pure dialogue and that the main story is impossible to lose, making it feel more like a narrative experience than a challenge.
