A beautiful game even all these years later. The setting, the artstyle, the character models, the backgrounds and objects, the way the clothes and hair move all look stunning! I am fond of a historical Japanese setting so I am slightly biased but wowie the setting for this was a dream come true for me, and likewise so is the setup! I love horror as well as mysticism and Japanese Shinto/Folklore. Playing as an onmyoji was awesome, and the three characters interesting and distinct! Not just in their personality and motivations, but in the way they are played and move. Each have unique movesets, animations, weapons, etc. And the third character especially was very satisfying to end the game on. It did get slow a few times with tremendous amounts of backtracking but I was kept hooked on the plot and atmosphere the full way through. Big recommend! Also the Japanese voices come as an option on the disc which I loved! (And meant I wouldn't have to find an undub fan patch like the Fatal Frame games). Check it out!
