How it feels

A slow-burn, atmospheric point-and-click investigation through a pixelated noir world, where story and choices matter more than action.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting, pixel art, and eerie atmosphere, but the early access release feels abandoned with no updates or developer communication since launch. The single chapter is short and some puzzles are confusing, while the stamina bug and unclear instructions frustrate others.
