Gotta say, for being one of the most influential RPGMaker games out there, that has gotten its roots practically everywhere you look, the original product is a bit barebones.

Not saying that the game promised to be much, it literally gives you one objective to collect all the Effects there is while you explore these psychedelic worlds and get yourself lost in a very extensive world, but this format and being a walking simulator without much indication as to we're you're going would make it pretty difficult to actually achieve the final goal without looking up a guide or a map for zones like the Wilderness (which is very confusing to go through even with it) or the awfully crimson red Hell.

Now, I guess the only problems I really have with it is the lack of directions, as getting lost or not fulfilling your objective at all can get pretty frustrating after a while, but everything else is pretty great! Kikiyama definitely nailed it in the head with the surrealism and psychedelic parts of some of the worlds, or how some can give you that uneasiness or creep up feelings that aren't really there. This game has zero jumpscares, it just leaves you waiting for any sort of scary part and that is the true horror of it.

I enjoyed going through it blindly the first two times I played it at morning hours, but gave in and used a guide for the other Effects I didn't get, not really ashamed of it since I wanted to see what happened if you got them all, and it was something quite interesting.

(headcanon: madotsuki actually has one of them things inside of rubber duckies on her loafers so they sound like that)
