How it feels

A meditative, text-forward visual novel that guides you through a young mediator's introspective first week at school with no gameplay beyond clicking to progress.

What players say

Players say this prequel is short and purposeless, best played after the first episode. The art style changed completely from the original, which many find disappointing. The game feels like a remnant of a cancelled Kickstarter project.
