How it feels

A subdued, introspective indie experience with sparse interaction and a reflective pace.

What players say

Players call this a short, surreal walking simulator with a strong atmosphere and a story told through radio broadcasts. They praise the price-to-experience ratio, but note the chase sequences drag on and the game is more of an art piece than a traditional game.
