A hand-drawn time-twisting adventure that feels like exploring a peculiar, melancholic storybook where every choice ripples into strange new scenarios.

What players say
Players praise the butterfly-effect time travel puzzles and hand-drawn art, but note the story is short and has only one ending. Reviews split on the plot: some find it heartwarming and emotional, while others call it shallow or unsatisfying, with complaints about character portrayal.
