Reviews
A unique and compact game, a journey into everyday life’s bizarre encounters with a hint of cosmic intrigue. A solo developer has clearly put a touch of their personal adventures into an original story with eye catching art. Recommended for a short play that doesn't overstay its welcome and provides an enjoyable bite size experience.
This game gave me 'Life is strange' vibes, I love it! Really enjoyed listening to sounds, watching Journal and playing! I'd be happy to help game developer with russian translation if necessary.
Super interesting and fun game. Although it is quite short, for the price point it really does very well! I like the alternate endings and how the game doesn't force you to go with the one end for your protag. Also a big fan of the more hidden achievements! Big recommendation for anyone looking to pass a few minutes and wonder about what happens to the protag after the completion of the game. 10/10

作者以自己的真实旅行日志为蓝本,做出了这个游戏短篇。氛围突出,但不怎么尽兴就戛然而止了。与[spoiler]心理健康[/spoiler]的隐喻是我一开始没有想到的。 https://www.acfun.cn/v/ac48181679 同抖动风格的互动小说,还有个基本“十窍九通”的游戏《8arms》,可以放一起对比。静待有缘人去解析吧。 https://dominoclub.itch.io/8arms 比较好理解的是《Orbital Obit》轨道讣告 https://dominoclub.itch.io/orbital-obit 之前还接触过这种宇宙科幻《External Communication》外部交流 https://www.acfun.cn/v/ac46936455
Short experience that prioritize a mystery that you're interested in but don't necessarily have to solve. It's supernatural and has those lovecraftian elements without being a long, sloshing visual. It's too it's point, it questions itself, and you're allowed to indulge for a few minutes. Overall, would recommend, fun thing to read for 20 - 40 minutes.
it good game for indi dev

Real experience of the 96 tram route
Interesting and reflective; Mundane but also not. Quite liked it.
