since i knew about how difficult it is to get this game running, i made the decision to play the ps1 release while watching a playthrough of the english patched rpgmaker original version on youtube at the same time. yes it was a hassle, no i don't regret it.
palette is a great title, considered an rpgmaker classic in japan for good reason. it's still very unique even 20 years after its release. though it definitely has its jank, the puzzle gameplay is so unique that i never minded having to deal with it.
i loved the nonlinear delivery of its narrative, and how it deals with a topic i've rarely seen discussed at all (the trauma and stigma that come from being related to a famous criminal). and it's pretty neat to see a "person must overcome manifestations of their psychological issues to recover their memories" game that predates silent hill 2
i wish i could just recommend it to everyone, but i can't. if you can read japanese, play the ps1 version. if you can't.... well. i wouldn't necessarily recommend My method, but it's definitely a game worth seeking out, even if you have to settle for watching a playthrough
