Shinji mikami is the goat but I think this may be his worst game. Has some incredibly fun ideas and is paced like an actual nightmare, feels like an extended chase sequence drawn out to like 8 hours. Typical of a mikami game, it has some completely extraneous mechanics which are basically forgotten 1/10th of the way in. Atypically, it has janky animations and feels kinda bad moment to moment to play. Worth playing.
