How it feels

A subdued, reflective point-and-click narrative that evokes the quiet confusion and gentle sadness of memory loss through minimalist puzzles and dreamlike sequences.

What players say

Players appreciate the game's emotional depiction of Alzheimer's and its poignant, bittersweet ending, but many find the point-and-click puzzles frustrating due to a lack of clear interactivity hints and a difficult musical puzzle. The game is very short, around an hour, with no save feature, and some mention a memory leak issue.
