Interesting Concept, Great Look and Sound, But A Bit Tedious To Play
This review is for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version

Preliminary: Beautiful Look and Sound for the beginning, the SNES really is impressive enter image description here

I dunno how to rate this one. The Sound and Look stay good. The concept is excellent and mostly well-done. But it gets a bit annoying dealing with him not wantign to do what I tell him etc. Well, namely him getting bored. But I did play through three acts hmm. I think this would be best played just casually without worrying about the acts imo.

Look: 8/10

Sound: 8/10

Play: 7/10 Neat, but could only keep my interest so long

Feel: 7/10

Attachment: 6.5/10 Even with the good Look and Sound, and high quality of the game overall, I don't see myself returning to this much.

Overall: 7.3/10
