10/10 Really channels those Spririted Away - Studio Ghibli Vibes from my childhood. The photos and music and writing and story are all good. The plot is great. It's short and has two interconnected routes but I only played one. It's an affordable price and is about 2 hours or less but the quality is great. I missed playing the Roseverte games of my adolescence and this brought back all the feels. It was an emotional rollercoaster - Raging Loop is like this but more adult oriented. All of this developer's games are good. Raging Loop is the most similar to this and Paradise which is adult oriented. Really a lonely bittersweet feeling that makes your heart ache for times long gone. I like this kind of nostalgia - it hits deep. I recommend playing it at full price.

Many thanks to ROSEVERTE for an early glimpse to this spooky mystery Visual Novel. As I have an Interest in Japanese culture, of course I took a look at it. It was spooky and mysterious indeed.
