Been doing a deep dive into the world of retro gaming this year to see all the stuff I missed, especially a lot of PlayStation classics. Some have been awesome, some not so much, but I’m a little over an hour into this one and I can already tell it’s a gem. So unique. Reminds me a bit of something like Resident Evil + 999 (Zero Escape)’s amazingly weird horror pseudoscience vibe but as an actiony-JRPG. Little annoying how precise you have to be interacting with things but I’m really feeling the gameplay and story. Thank god it’s not tank controls! Had to stop for the night but I’m hooked, probably gonna marathon the rest this weekend.

Currently reading the Hideaki Sena novel that inspired this game, knowing nothing about either, with hopes of being inspired to someday check out this out.
