How it feels

A slow, atmospheric visual novel where you gather clues and talk to people to solve a murder while carrying a supernatural burden.

What players say

Players call this a short murder mystery that feels more like a prologue than a standalone game. The story is linear with only one path to solve the case, ending on a cliffhanger that leads into two sequels. It has good English voice acting and nice art, but reviewers note the protagonist's psychic ability is never explained.
