How it feels

A contemplative, low-intensity experience where you navigate a child's perspective of unsettling adult expectations through simple 2D interactions.

What players say

Players praise the free price and thematic depth, but many warn that the game is entirely in Chinese and combat involves frantic left- and right-clicking that can cause hand strain. The three chapters each use a different play style, and the multiple endings reward replaying, though some find the battle sections tedious and the difficulty spiky for non-rhythm gamers.
