As someone who watched Let's Plays back in the day, I think the game still holds up. Although I already know who the culprit is, the journey of the game, its gameplay, and its characters kept me hook throughout the entire game. I do think that the game is a bit basic sometimes (either it is because it is a bit easy or maybe I have knowledge of some parts of this game), but I think that the sequel would expand these concept even further. The school mode is a bit tedious to do, but I still have fun organizing and managing characters and items. Plus I used the school mode to be able to get all the characters' report cards.
