While I do think the sequel is a better game, this games mixture of genuine horror and comedy gives it very distinct personality, while the sequel is more of a comedy with a dash of horror.
Boy, those FMVs look like straight out of a 1998 PS1 game.
Interesting combat mechanics though and the gothic horror aesthetic really tickles my pickle, looks like a fun game.

Most games, especially from smaller studios, continued to have this look well into the 6th generation. Studios like Squaresoft, Capcom and Namco were the exception since they had millions to blow at the time.
Does this get any better after the first hour? Genuinely couldn't stand the protagonist and the awful early 2000s anime creep type of humour. The combat system wasn't really enough of a draw for me either.
