How it feels

A slow, atmospheric exploration of a cursed urban legend where your character investigates and performs a forbidden ritual, leaving a lingering sense of dread and erosion of normalcy.

What players say

Players say this is a story-driven visual novel with a thriller atmosphere, not horror, and puzzles that are easy to solve. The game takes about two hours, but abruptly ends after setting up many plot threads, leaving players eager for part two. Some find the early pacing slow and the frequent death frustrating, and saving is essential.
