What players say

Players say this short visual novel depicts depression with unsettling honesty, often calling it more raw than Omori. The story is under two hours and leaves some wanting more, with the main character Iris resonating deeply, especially with queer players. Reviews split between finding it cathartic or emotionally devastating.
