How it feels

A slow-burn, text-driven ghost story where you read and haunt a family, making choices that shape your spectral influence.

What players say

Players praise the writing and characters early on, but many say the story falls apart toward the end with placeholder text and unresolved threads. Technical issues are common, choices loop, paragraphs repeat, and the game forgets what you did. The ghost powers offer fun variety, and replaying to see different outcomes is a draw, though the branching feels inconsistent.
