How it feels

A slow, melancholic exploration of post-war Japan where the player unravels hidden secrets and emotional depth through atmospheric storytelling.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on the ending. Many praise the beautiful art, music, and mature themes of female solidarity, but a heavily upvoted warning about a surprise incest twist makes others feel betrayed. The mystery is called predictable and the pacing rushed, though some still find the romance and atmosphere compelling. A few report the game won't start.
