How it feels

A slow-burn, text-driven investigation where you piece together unsettling Lovecraftian mysteries through reading and dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and jazz soundtrack but are divided on the execution. Many find the pacing too slow and the English translation problematic, with odd phrasing and typos. Opinions split sharply on the story: some call it smart and creative, others find the chapters disconnected and the ending unsatisfying.
