game has vibes for days. mainly due to the world created here with some help from a very cool dark ambient soundtrack. borderline visual novel with some gorgeous prerendered graphics. first person with adventure and rpg elements. you're an agent for the Church and you can read minds and have "mind battles." i can see why it was never localized (too much text and religious aspects and overall very obtuse).

I've been playing this game on and off for a while, (haven't logged it though), it dives into some really really heavy themes, so it goes even beyond the typical horror stuff, and yeah that's probably why it wasn't localized. There's a full english translation on youtube by someone named Popomoco if you're curious. I'm in chapter 3 right now, I've kind of slowed down with it but it's got a neat as hell aesthetic, love cyberpunk (slight body-horror) edge it has.
