I always thought Panic! was one of the trippy non-games that later became so common on the Playstation, but this feels much more like Nintendo's brand of odd odyssey. My elevator pitch here is, "what if WarioWare was an escape room?" Panic! has the absurdist minimalism and hilarious ambiguity of WarioWare, but through a point and click adventure lens. There is a massive tree of mini-scenes you are stumbling through (I love the pause screen that shows you the map, it gives a sense that there is some deep order behind the madness), and the puzzles swing between nonsense and understated logical brilliance.

It's a wonderful ride of a game, an experience that I think anyone could pickup and play to some extent, so in that way it's one of the more accessible highlights on the Sega CD.
