I'm biased on this one- I translated it to English. But, yes, OFF is good: A triumph of boundary-breaking aesthetic and off-beat narrative depth. A trailblazer in a few respects too, taking up condemnations of game violence as early as 2008.

Its puzzles are lovely notebook-and-pen riddles, with some hard nuts to crack; where it falters is its combat, which is at worst tedious and at best negligible once you've reached a high enough level.

Even so, this is one of the RPG Maker game greats of its day, and is still worth revisiting now.
