This is a delightful treat of a game!

The soundtrack absolutely made the game for me. The music carried the emotion while the story just hung dry on its own (for me, I've heard about people that sobbed over the story). Don't misunderstand -- the story isn't bad at all and is pretty interesting, but it's not godsend or anything. The simplified pixel graphics add to a goofy charm that may be missed in some other titles.

There are interesting mechanics and ideas behind the gameplay that tie in well with the story -- a commendable feat -- which is the main draw. When I first played it, these things were spoiled for me, which is rather a shame. Regardless, I was still able to immerse myself and enjoy what was there.
The comedy seems entirely hit or miss; if you a fan of more childish humor and jokes, then it might be for you.

Bottom line is that I believe this game should be played by those who are interested in consequence of action/a bit of character exploration and a soft spot for RPGs. You will have to play this more than once to experience the full impact of the game and truly understand all sides of the story. If that isn't your thing, maybe just pass this up. Otherwise, add this to your library.

Don't be discouraged by the fanbase. All in all, it's a good game that deserves some recognition.
