How it feels

A somber, story-driven puzzle RPG where you unravel a tragic friendship through exploration and branching narrative choices.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are split on the puzzle design, with some finding it obscure. The three endings all leave a sense of incompleteness, and the yuri angle is undercut by the fact that not all outcomes are same-sex.
