if you play hideo kojima talking into your ds microphone at a specific part of the map you can unlock the secret creepypasta mode where the monster really kills people

Man I wish they made more of this game! It was so fun. I highly recommend this DS gem!

Very fun Metroidvania with unique mechanics and cutely designed. Combat is fun

um Metroidvania muito bom e lindo.
uma verdadeira Pérola escondida do DS.

It is as charming as it is tedious. And I say that, but please don’t let this keep you from playing the game, because it really does feel filled with so much love that I’d be remiss not to recommend it if you have a DS. It’s cute, and the mechanics are unique. The main issues are how slow and unforgiving the game is, but it’s worth working past if only for how quaint the experience is.

I love Metroidvanias and I loved this one, it was definitely reaching for too many things at once but the story was neat, the gameplay was fun and it had just enough puzzling without an insane amount of backtracking. This is an IP I would love to see brought back with some fixes considering where they failed.
