How it feels

A surreal and slightly unsettling walking simulator where you navigate a dreamlike void through simple choices that unravel multiple endings.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, free RPG with an 8-bit Undertale style and a somber story with multiple endings, but sentiment is split. Some find the writing edgy or cringy and the meta commentary tired, while others praise the storytelling and thematic ambition. Several note performance issues like missing controller support.
