How it feels

A linear, story-driven fantasy visual novel with retro pixel art and a gear maze minigame that feels deliberately simple and constrained.

What players say

Players praise the world-building, character writing, and humor, calling it a satisfying two-hour read with a warm steampunk setting. The maze mini-game is a point of disagreement: some find it clever and skippable, while others say it becomes repetitive and tedious in the second half.
