How it feels

A gentle, story-rich design game where you create cozy spaces while following a warm narrative about a reclusive character.

What players say

Players agree it is a short, story-driven experience with light home decorating. The writing is praised for its dark humor and relatable take on social withdrawal, but the decorating itself is seen as cosmetic and restrictive. A free mode after the story is considered the better part.
