a really cool game as the first in the series. i can see why people cant get into this one due to the poor controls and the slow and janky gameplay, but as someone who can deal with that stuff this is a really cool experience, solving puzzles in the Spencer mansion and going deeper in it to uncover mysteries is super cool and managing items is also surprisingly fun, but backtracking is a pain and the save feature is stupid. like i understand the point of the ink ribbons, but it just feels dumb to me and adds extra anxiety that shouldn't be there. but the pre rendered graphics are cool and the enemies are cool and the environments are cool and i definitely don't regret completing it.
