There is something deeply fascinating about this game but I cannot put my finger on it. Maybe it's how everything is so strange and disjointed but also I get the feeling that every element makes sense in the developer's mind.

It's like some no-name release you'd rent from an old Blockbuster, except with excellent camera control and a well-considered difficulty curve.

The controls in this one are pretty peculiar, but everything works well enough now that I've acclimated, and getting little non-sequitur short stories as rewards for the platforming is fun. Love the muddy, budget PS2 look, and the soundtrack has been nonstop excellent so far.
