i like how this game rewards your curiosity. many cases where i just randomly went to examine something i thought was peculiar and it gave me something i needed to progress. i think the game couldve incentivized this more with some more responses for your checks then just "no problem" but i understand nes had its limitations. soundtrack is very moving as well. the overworld theme, the castle of magicant, the indoors theme, will remain in my mind for many years
