How it feels

a point-and-click adventure that feels like wandering through a dark, surreal dream where puzzles and dread slowly unravel a twisted story.

What players say

Players praise the unsettling yet beautiful atmosphere and raw emotional story about a girl's trauma. The puzzles are tricky enough that some recommend taking breaks, but the rewarding narrative keeps players invested. The open ending leaves room for interpretation, and fans specifically name the character Itward as a highlight.
