i'm pretty sure i know one of the only existing fans of this game. he picked this for a game club that i participated in and it was only $2 so well... 🙂
didn't really know much about this other than the fact that it was infamously bad to an extent you don't frequently see these days. beyond that i didn't realize that this had actual combat/beat em up gameplay on top of the narrative based stuff. i wish i had stayed unaware but it's too late now.
the two gameplay formats are at complete odds with each other. the story has no flow to it because you're constantly being interrupted (in a jarring fashion) by another fight sequence. i could see a better execution of either the combat gameplay or the narrative itself appealing to fans of those kinds of things but given that they are both miserable slogs it doesn't make anyone happy.
i know there's a second run where you get sound and such but there's no fixing this for me. i'm not bothering.

@Sgulgi, welcome to your tape.
This game is so incomprehensibly bad that I can't help but feel like it was intentionally trying to be the next big cult camp classic. Terrible gameplay, insanely bad narrative, horrible acting, awful art direction...the list just goes on. I hate rating games this low, but I genuinely do not have a single good thing to say about this game.
Square Enix is the most unserious company on the planet.

Defies any possible rating. Congratulations or I'm sorry to whoever created it.
