What players say
Players call this a short, emotional visual novel about grief and identity, with a paralyzed protagonist in a hospital bed. The Disco Elysium-inspired UI is widely noted. It is free with one ending and no auto-saves, and opinions split on whether choices matter, most say they do not affect the outcome.
