Unsurprisingly for such a sprawling game, this demake recreates only one tiny, stripped down portion of the whole. It's more a demo or proof of concept, really. You can play through basically everything there is to do in about 10 minutes. But what's there is really impressive. The way that certain complex aspects of the game's mechanics—from the dice rolls to the thought cabinet—were adapted and simplified was often very creative. And the chiptune renditions of the soundtrack were charming as hell. I wish they'd left in Cuno, but oh well.
