The story is pretty straightforward, but it's the framing that really pulled me in. The supernatural detective angle works perfectly for the meeting of the Digital World and reality, and they often take the chance to talk about occult concepts or authors as they go along. It's a very enriching experience that got me excited to take side quests as soon as they showed up.

As for the gameplay, there's a lot of jank and I paid attention to none of it because I got to hang out with Terriermon the whole time. Haven't started Hacker's Memory yet but I suspect the cracks will start to show on a fresh playthrough.
