How it feels

A slow-paced, atmospheric puzzle adventure where you examine detailed scenes and solve minigames to unravel a mystery in an abandoned boarding school.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and detective story, but are split on the game's quality. Translation errors in hidden object scenes make some items impossible to find without hints, and a long-standing bug can force a full restart. The simple puzzles and short length appeal to some while others find them boring.
