How it feels
a lo-fi, anime-style dating sim that feels like wandering through autumn while navigating awkward social anxiety and the quiet ache of unrequited feelings.

What players say
Players praise the lofi soundtrack and nostalgic photo-background art, but warn the romance is brutally realistic rather than wish-fulfillment. The routes vary in tone, with Rose's in particular described as emotionally devastating and Sarah's criticized for forcing a romantic intent. Some players call it a cozy game, others say it dredges up real relationship trauma.
