perhaps not as consistently stellar as i had remembered but there's no way i can reasonably give this a lower score given how personally significant it is. the characters, soundtrack, twists 'n turns, sprite work, and so on are all absolutely wonderful.

case 5 continues to be a big drag to actually play through (it just never Stops) but the actual content of the section itself is great and it was a bonus for the DS ports and onwards so it's w/e.
