How it feels

A tense, atmospheric text-based visual novel where delusion and reality blur as you navigate a hospital infected with a hallucination-inducing virus.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and fitting music, but many find the writing amateurish and the story too short to develop its promising premise. The game is a 2-hour visual novel with multiple endings and simple branching, though some feel the plot twist comes too fast.
