How it feels

A bleak, slow-paced 2D side-scrolling journey through an old man's haunting memories and oppressive reality.

What players say

Players say it is a short psychological horror adventure that takes about 1-2 hours to complete. The story about grief and memory gets praise, but many find the narrative confusing and the English translation poor. There are minor jump scares and simple puzzles, though the repetition and lack of a save option frustrate some.
