Aside from the clunky gameplay and a story that's clearly ripping off The Ring and The Grudge, this is a pretty solid horror game. I really liked the game-within-a-game aspect of it which was very inventive, along with the mystery aspect of the storyline. Though it gets a bit nonsensical with the murder subplot, and it also veers into sentimental "love saves the day" finale that felt a bit forced. The clunky gameplay weirdly enough makes the game scarier, especially when you're being chased by ghosts.

While the game initially gets off to a slow start, its irreverent humor and impactful lore progressively builds the game up to an emotional climax that made the game as something more than just another Earthbound clone. The healthy variety in the gameplay and postmodern moments added so much to the otherwise simplistic story at its core.
