I played the original many years back as a teenager, it was cool, quite scary for a kid. Nowadays as a full fledged NEET, the game just hits different, relating to the paranoid Nishijou Takumi is not cool by all means, but his messed up head and personality make the whole experience so much better. Mastering the game was awesome as well ESPECIALLY for the True Ending of the Game, it gave me the chills "Sakihata Rimi Inoru". Long story short, the game is a very close experience to putting your feet in the ocean of insanity and paranoia.
