How it feels

A melancholic yet darkly humorous visual novel with a warm, illustrated artstyle paired with glitch effects, creating a nostalgic and cinematic reading experience.

What players say

Players praise the art and VHS-inspired presentation, calling it like a movie. The story is divisive: some love its quirky, warm friendship tale, others find the characters morally ugly and the treatment of Clara discomforting. It is only Season One, and many demand a follow-up.
