So this is a re-release of one of the (self-proclaimed) worst games ever made by a physical distributor/publisher known for scummy practices; as such the price is ludicrous for what you get (quite literally the main game with a barely functional "credit" system, one that you can easily exploit within the first two choices of the main game) that then has you pass through the most shovelware of UIs to unlock the content it actually wants you to see.

This content primarily consists of anything from 50% of it being talking heads from Limited Run Games fellating themselves for porting "the worst game of all time" to a minor subset of journalist filler to finally a small number of actual recent check-ins from developers and actors finally chiming in to their infamous creation 30 years later. The best of this material is a full gameplay commentary by none other than Jane herself, compounded with a 2024 introduction.

Somehow though, they felt inclined to remove one of the most infamous parts of a game they can't help but constantly remind you is infamous; the "uncensored" cheat. Imagine calling a game definitive, pasting your own disclaimer at the beginning and yet still you're too scared to at least show the game in its DEFINITIVE state, thereby actively censoring it.

It seems insignifcant, but this was (as is true Limited Run style) a cash grab (they even try to convince you it's not in it's new introduction) designed fully to pat themselves on the back and say that they were able to port their self-proclaimed "worst game of all time" to modern systems, a title only really substantiated in its archives by a tired 40-something James Rolfe who takes full responsibility for the game's infamy.
