What a charming hidden gem. Its peculiar, well-constructed story and characters offer a wild ride from beginning to end. It has a very characteristic humor, always present to alleviate what are actually pretty dark and mature themes.
The gameplay is also very unique, but it is probably where the game falls a bit short. In the final third, the lack of new mechanics make it start to feel a bit repetitive, and all the puzzles could gain from being less straightforward.
Even then, this is still a fantastic game. If you're remotely interested, give it a try.
PS: I know there's a Switch version, but I do think that the animations of the original leave a bigger impression and that the remake simplifies them too much. Apart from a couple of new scenes, there are no other major changes, so I would recommend the DS version.
