Good, but a bit frustrating.
The music, as well as the animations, effects, and other graphics of the game, are all very nice.
However, gameplay-wise, it has many faults that sucked the fun out of me very soon.
[b]STORY[/b]
Not very profound.
It has a structure, but it's still very chaotic, and it wasn't that interesting or moving for me to get attached to it.
There's a lot of useless information and elements of the story that don't really fit or just seem out of place, and most of it felt like it was being made on the spot.
The translation is pretty good, but it's still unrefined enough to either ruin some moments or important puzzle clues.
[b]HINTS[/b]
Quantity over quality.
Very important hints are easy to miss and sometimes lack, while the most basic ones are repeated multiple times.
Most of the puzzle hints are either mistranslated, or they just blatantly don't make any sense, because I've been struggling with almost each one that required a numerical code.
[b]GAMEPLAY[/b]
The frustrating part.
There's only one save area, and while it gets easier to attain by progressing through the story even from farther away, it's still a pain to get there.
And since it's so far away, I usually didn't save that often, resulting in me dying and constantly replaying a large portion of the game and not having fun anymore.
It makes replaying cutscenes and re-reading text a nuisance, because there's no skip button, and getting through it even when spamming or holding the interact button is still fairly slow.
The bright side is the great enemy variety, some interesting "situations" and a large play area (which can be a two-sided coin when recalling the save-point problem).
With some tweaks, polish, and a deeper story, this would have been a really impressive game.
