How it feels

A quiet, melancholy visual novel with cute anime aesthetics, slow pacing, and an emotional focus on loneliness and fragile hope in a desolate world.

What players say

Players say the game is a very short visual novel, completeable in about an hour, that ends with a clear cliffhanger. The audio has severe clipping and distortion that reviewers describe as painful or ear-shattering, though the voice acting itself is considered passable. Players are split on the story: some find it generic or undercooked, while others are curious to see it continue.
