How it feels

A short, text-heavy narrative game about survivors slowly uncovering disturbing scientific notes in a ruined world, with a heavy, uneasy atmosphere.

What players say

Players enjoy this free horror visual novel for its art, atmosphere, and multiple endings, but many wish it were longer. The story feels incomplete to some, and players are split on the writing quality.
