How it feels

A contemplative and emotionally heavy point-and-click adventure that blends romance and philosophical drama with a melancholic, lore-rich narrative.

What players say

Players describe a short, heartwarming visual novel best played around New Year's. Praise centers on the Russian voice acting and cozy atmosphere, though many wish it were longer and note the English translation is poor. Several reviews treat it as a companion piece to the developer's main game, HOPE: Unlived Life.
