amazing for about 25 minutes of a 2 hour playthrough. good enough for a 4/5 regardless of the rest of it being filler.
everyone remembers uboa and takofuusen and toringens, but no one remembers that so much of the game is just empty rooms with scrolling backgrounds. the moments of genuinely getting to know madotsuki better through her dreams are incredible, but so much of it is kaleidoscopic filler that doesn't look anything like a dream, and more to the point doesnt tell us anything more about the character supposedly being studied.
an important, groundbreaking classic of the medium which doesnt hold up in light of its own reputation
