A lot of missed potential here - mostly due to how dated the design is, partially due to technical limitations, but there are some weird choices on top of that. For one, it's kind of hard to take the disturbing imagery seriously when the scenarios take place in what are basically just stock adventure game settings - like, the characters are supposed to be being tortured by this massive AI but at the same time they're traveling through ancient Egypt and learning magic from a witch and whatnot. The only one that can conceivably be grounded (ha) in reality is Gorrister's story, and that one still had a magic talking jackal. The game is also extremely buggy- I had to stop playing at the endgame because the game just spontaneously softlocked and stopped from progressing. I wish the game had a remake or remaster or something, because the voice acting, art, and music here are genuinely phenomenal here, they're just stuck in the package of an esoteric 90s PC adventure game. Still makes worthwhile additions to the original short story, but sadly can't quite compare in general quality.
