A point-and-click visual novel set in a post-WWI atmosphere where you navigate a psychologically unsettling narrative centered on a friend's disturbing mindset. The game attempts to blend atmospheric storytelling with interactive exploration, though its execution is uneven—with inconsistent visuals, formatting issues, and themes that lack depth despite ambitious scope.

This game is ok I guess... I cant set neutral recommendation
I cant find words about this game. I think this game is made by beginner.

Script is not that great as it could be. First minutes of script were so good, but later on something went wrong.

Gameplay is also bad. Closer to the end Characters' colors were messed up, text lines broke screen. The game is not ment to be played on english language. Lack of testing spoils a little bit

Otherwise, I see that this game was made with soul. Handpainted art is ok, . Developer will make better art, music, plot in the future. That's why i want to support Developer Unica, I wont refund game. Also I set 'recommended', but take risk on your own.

There are some bad artwork, for example church's bell in the beginning of the game — it is just russian church's bell stock image. But i find this funny, it was pleased to meet russian words in Japanese game

Very lovely and atmospheric visual novel with point&click elements! The artistic portrayal is wonderful and creates a distinct aesthetic, which, paired with an incredible soundtrack, maintains a captivating ambience. The story premise appears rather generic, however develops in an interesting way and deals with various complex themes! I'm particularly fond of the post WW1 setting, it feels unique and intriguing. I was honestly immersed all along, this game felt highly pleasant to play.

My sole discontent is the fact that the writing wasn't given a chance to be more in-depth, causing the mystery and convoluted themes to feel too straightforward, plus prevented fleshed out characterizations which certainly would've enhanced the impact of the story otherwise. Additionally, the last part felt particularly abrupt and rushed. In my opinion, this is a story that deserves more time to circulate and evolve, instead of just presenting the plot so directly.
Overall I found this to be quite enjoyable and full of potential, would recommend with a discount!

It's an average game; I feel like this one should have spent more time in the oven.


The art is inconsistent, and the point-and-click elements don't add much to the game. The game tries to explore too many themes, but everything ends up being very shallow. The UI is also somewhat amateurish and the formatting leaves something to be desired.You can't really get attached to any character because everything is so superficial and fast-paced. English translation is okay but could be better. For what it offers, the price is certainly too high.
