started playing this for the first time a couple years ago and ended up getting permanently stuck in one of the sections (can't remember which one) and that alone was enough for me to never revisit it
has the bones of a good concept and story, the spritework is v nice and expressive for the time, i didn't necessarily mind the melodrama, and the music definitely does its job when its called for, but gosh there's a lot here that ultimately brings down the whole experience. between the annoying traversal being the only gameplay, the corniness and jarring pop-culture references, the writing just being v one note, the weird detours like the awful unnecessary chase sequence, and dr. neil watts' entire existence. it feels like it's held together by tape just enough to make me feel something, but not enough. it's decent but man i really expected more. chalk that as another disappointment for me in 2024
This is one of those games where I wish I played it as a teenager because it prob would’ve hit me hard. At this point in my life I found it pretty unremarkable.
