How it feels

A brooding visual novel where envy and obsession drive a tense, fateful encounter between a scylla and a human, with a heavy, melancholic atmosphere.

What players say

Players call this a short, emotional visual novel that pairs cute chibi art with a deeply tragic story about beauty and monsters. Many find it haunting and tearful, though some note the pacing drags and question whether it romanticizes evil. Reviews split on whether the yuri is platonic or romantic.
