How it feels
a slow-burn visual novel that builds dread through oppressive atmosphere and unsettling mythology, driven by a tragic tale of curses and guilt.

What players say
Players warn this is a disturbing visual novel with heavy themes like suicide, gore, and trauma. The writing is compelling but the story includes uncomfortable ntr-like elements and a resolution that some find unsatisfying, with no happy endings. Audio and text effectively convey horror without needing graphic visuals.
