I don't have enough context on the gaming scene in 1993 to say anything definitively, but in 1993 I have to imagine this stood out (forgive my PC ignorance, I'm sure something got made there!).
In the period of time that people seemed to think FMV games were where games were headed (and were so so wrong), this feels surprisingly fresh. Everything that is enjoyable about old FMV games on the Mega CD is present here with less fuss, and it also represents the blueprint of System Sacom's future work on Torico, a genuinely wonderful game on Saturn. Worth revisiting, and worth playing blind, if you can put up with the dub. Immaculate vibes.
