How it feels
A curated anthology of poignant, short narrative experiences that blend offbeat humor with emotional depth, inviting you to inhabit the lives of diverse characters in innovative, low-stakes stories.

What players say
Players call this an anthology of ten short narrative games that explore heavy emotional topics, often tied to real human stories. The controls are clunky and settings barely work, with a persistent windowed mode that breaks on leaving a game, but many find the documentaries about each game's development more valuable than the games themselves.
