When factoring in how edgy the dialogue can get and the numerous spots that can softlock the game, I understand why Toby Fox has distanced himself from this "creepypasta-esque" Earthbound hack. It also doesn't last long enough to make much use of the original game's rolling HP dial mechanic. On the other hand, I love all the creepy enemy designs throughout the different worlds, and most of the humor hits a satisfying middle ground between Earthbound and Undertale. It's certainly faithful in terms of capturing the RPG experience of a world worth exploring in every detail. Hearing the first appearance of Megalovania is a wonderful historic event as well. If you enjoy Toby Fox's work, it's definitely worth checking out one of his very first projects (with save states used frequently).
