A slow, haunting character study that lingers in guilt and ritual, more sorrowful than scary.

How it feels: Melancholic, dark, eerie and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.

Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
