I have such intense memories of playing this game as a child, every single moment felt like déjà-vu. I also have a unique fondness for Misthallery as a setting, the mist and what we in Germany call Kleinstadttristesse (like, the unique melancholy of a small town) really elevate the mood of the entire game, I think. Other than that, the puzzles are nice, the vibes impeccable and the story good enough. Standout character is still Descole, whose slow introduction over the course of the game makes him the actual spectre looming over Misthallery, it's sad they toned him down in the later games.
