How it feels

A tense, slow-burn horror puzzle game where you piece together a mysterious case through conversations and exploration in a remote village.

What players say

Players say it is a short, story-driven experience rather than a traditional horror game, with easy puzzles and no jumpscares. The story is a tragic but hopeful tale about superstition and rural Chinese life, though opinions split on whether the game offers enough gameplay for its price.
