A beautifully crafted visual novel that combines stunning visuals, introspective writing, and an immersive soundtrack, creating a unique and thoughtful experience.
The game offers a deep exploration of themes like self-worth and modernity, leaving players with a sense of reflection long after completion.
It's a short yet impactful journey that feels both comforting and thought-provoking, making it a worthwhile experience for those seeking something different.

The self-deprecating tone can be overly pronounced, making some of the dialogue feel more like satire than genuine introspection.
As a short, linear visual novel, it may not provide enough depth for players looking for a more complex narrative or gameplay experience.
The lack of real dialogues and reliance on the main character's thoughts might not resonate with everyone, potentially limiting its appeal.
