How it feels

A reflective, choice-driven journey through a family's history that feels personal, emotional, and quietly serious.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt story about gentrification and community told through a Black family's history, but they also note the gameplay is extremely simple, mostly reading with only a handful of meaningful choices. Opinions split on the political message: some call it essential and eye-opening, others dismiss it as propaganda.
