How it feels

A short, tense point-and-click adventure with a noir-tinged, hand-drawn style and a looming sense of dread as you explore an abandoned watermill.

What players say

Players consistently highlight the short runtime of about an hour and the beautiful hand-drawn art. The game offers multiple endings and logical puzzles, though a few mention occasional moon logic. Sentiment on value is mixed, with many saying it is worth on sale but not at full price.
