basically just a SNES port of a goosebumps book.

far too early in VN history to have any sort of QOL features like text speed adjustment or auto-advance, so it's agonizingly sluggish. doesn't seem that bad at first since it's a bit faster than speaking speed, but the dialogue and narration are pretty rambly and repetitive, so the inability to skim hurts it greatly. very shlocky and very slow overall, some good music tracks and manages to do some cool things with mood-setting but it inevitably shoots itself in the foot once it leaves the tension and shows you the thing you're supposed to be scared of and it's like a scooby doo villain.

only really worth a look if you're interested in the history of the VN medium as a whole. in that respect it's neat to see where most of it all stemmed from! but on its own merits its just not very good at what its trying to do lol
