What players say

A short linear visual novel about a daughter and father driving to Lake Baikal. Players call it touching and heartfelt, but note it has no choices and takes under an hour. Reviews are split on the writing: most find it emotionally resonant, while one says it is cliché and depressive. The ending is frequently called surprising.
