How it feels

A brief, surreal first-person walk through understated, uncrowded environments with a hint of uncanny glitchiness.

What players say

Players describe it as a short walking sim with striking visuals and a great soundtrack, but split on whether it has enough substance to be a game. Some call it a tech demo or portfolio piece with almost no interactivity, while others find it a moving, atmospheric experience.
