How it feels

A slow, reflective visual novel about listening to patrons' stories while gazing at the sea, with a touch of melancholic mystery.

What players say

Players describe this as a short visual novel with a mystery plot and a cocktail-making mechanic. Most praise the atmosphere and music, but several note that three of the four endings feel rushed and anticlimactic. The sprites are animated and characters appear only as silhouettes, which some find charming and others disappointing.
