The Adventures of Shinji Ikari, Queen of the Desert
A pleasant RPG that kept tempting me to like it more. The UI is delicious, but a basic item upgrade hides 5 layers deep. The characters are charming, but incapable of addressing fascism in any meaningful way (but oh do they try). The music rules. Full stop. Act 3's descent into depressed soliloquies almost killed the whole thing for me, but GITCL's rhythms are so easy to slip into I can't pretend it was entirely unpleasant. The battle theme is still stuck in my head.
