How it feels
A tense, introspective visual novel where you embody a monster stalking a tormented soul, with the atmosphere defined by minimalist hand-drawn art and a focus on quiet dread and philosophical weight.

What players say
Players step into the role of the voice inside a depressed woman's head, and many find the portrayal of grief and mental illness uncomfortably realistic. The game is short, around an hour or less, with three endings that reward replaying. Some reviewers compare it to Slay the Princess in how it plays with perspective.
