A really engaging riff on Alien from the lens of a Japanese dev, JESUS is full of excellent visual design and initially compelling characters that loses steam fast in the face of incredibly clunky and unclear progression requirements and a tendency to throw characters to the wolves in an instant.

It really appealed to me in a way most adventure games from the NES can't, but after my fiftieth time "patrolling" the ship for threats I was overly eager to finally have the game finished.
