How it feels

A tender, epistolary visual novel where you slide letters across the screen to feel the weight of time and unsaid longing between two scholars in a cozy fantasy world.

What players say

Players enjoy this free short prequel as a charming, slow-paced letter exchange between two men. The central gimmick is sliding between both characters' perspectives to see their contrasting reactions, which reviewers find amusing. It is a visual novel, not a game with mechanics, and some call the writing weak.
