How it feels

A quiet, reflective journey through puzzles and melancholy, with a soft, eerie atmosphere that feels like drifting through a dark, surreal dream.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and unique puzzles that use shogi/chess movement patterns for laser-like challenges. The narrative is compared favorably to Yoko Taro's work, with multiple endings and queer themes. Players are split on pacing and puzzle difficulty, and many wish for a run button.
