An utterly fascinating but too-ambitious-for-its-own-good PS1 curio that often feels like it's being held together by duct tape. I'm grateful to the individuals responsible for making this game available to western audiences with a fan translation, but man, I sure can see why it wasn't localised, despite being so obviously influenced by Twin Peaks. The game is a mess. Trying to be Shenmue before Shenmue was a thing, and on PS1 tech no less, was one hell of a goal, but clearly not one that was realistic.

If you are going to brave a playthrough, then use a guide. I can't stress this enough. Use a guide, or you'll likely lock yourself out of anything but a bad ending early on. And play it on something that allows you to use save states.
