One of the best writing visual novel game I've ever play and boy I told I am experienced in hunting down otome visual novels. Jonah character was especially hauntingly impressive and hard not to get attached.

This game hurts so, so beautifully. It has the monsters, yes, but that's not what the fear is, nor where it stems from. It's this strange, longing-like sense of fear that's almost calming in its finality. It's like being dragged under the ocean depths, but being embraced by the waves as you close your eyes.

Incredibly gripping story, with visuals and audio providing an immersive atmosphere. I particularly liked the transitions, they built the suspense quite well

This was well written and illustrated!

I wish there was more, honestly. The atmosphere was perfect, and the dread was potent. I loved the sound design. I wish we interacted and learned more about Jonah through the MC. The art is wonderful!

it was so

gut-wrenching

for me when I play this, its been a while since i play a visual game so i hope on to see what's new. Its short but impactful in the way its written and i love Jonah in a way i could feel his distress and fear as well as the mc i love how them as a person as junior researcher was written , it make me love ever second of this novel, it hooked on me on how it will end, well all are doom for both mc and Jonah but it feel real like I'm with them in a way i was so invested for them  aaaah and the little extra content cheer me up when i felt sad after it ended (reach 3 of the endings) and the visual for Jonah was so nice too see , i love how the art style have a bit of soft tender vibe while still have that rusty like effect i think? i don't know how to describe with words
