I hate to say this, but this game turned out pretty disappointing. I love the art style and characters to death and the conceit is really promising but the polish isn't quite there.

The main problem is just how forced the stealth is on this game, and it just isn't strong enough. Baiting enemies with noise is just frustrating, repetitive, and it's genuinely annoying how fucked you are if enemies see you. Fighting with the solar gun is an uphill battle seeing as aiming and moving both happen at once on a GBA. Getting hit by darkness feels like it's programmed to feel aggravating as hell.

Full of neat ideas but kind of a pain in the ass to actually play, at least for my tastes. Hopefully the sequels are more up my alley.
