The verdict

Better value than 84% of RPG games

Experience the not-so-ordinary life of a young institutionalized woman in the 1950’s. Amidst the daily struggles and overbearing loneliness, she often sees things that others do not. However, as the imaginary begins to seep into reality, she realizes she may not be as crazy as she once thought.
