This game really has a choose your own adventure book feel to it, complete with options that will just straight up kill you with no warning. And the save system is really helpful in that you never lose progress if you die, so I just found all the deaths comical.

Despite that, I dont think the game is amazing. The mystery you unravel is not particularly interesting, and it's really easy to miss important things, which makes things tedious. There's some good puzzle stuff in the game though.

It was a bit tedious doing things with the NES controller, having to slowly move the cursor around and also having to awkwardly deal with the cursor movements transitioning between the lists and the cursor areas. I think this would have been a better experience on the old computer versions.

The writing is actually pretty good though-- I mean like, the text in the game. It felt pretty well written and also kinda campy, which is fun. The music and graphics were good too.

Overall I think it's an alright game. A better mystery would have helped this game a lot.
