i got married and divorced all in the same day.
Anyway, this game has been sitting in my library for two years untouched. I recently decided to finish it, and this is a product of a lot of thought and love.
I love PS1-style graphics, it may just be because I'm a sucker for games from that era, but it's not something that I am ashamed of. The character models and environments are all wonderfully made and full of charm. When the game does decide to be scary, it can do it very well through great use of lighting and sound design.
This game does not have the most unique story in the world, but I did not go into this playthrough with high expectations for the story anyway. I still really enjoyed the character dialogue, and they did bring a smile to my face.
The platforming is very quick and smooth. Replaying levels for secrets and/or achievements will not take up a large chunk of your time. There is also no punishment for falling to your demise, so the player is free to explore as much as they want, which you will want to do. There are lots of little (and big) secrets hidden in each dream world, plus it's just fun to explore the areas and learn more about them in general.
tl;dr
It's not too expensive or long of a game, so in my opinion it's worth trying out. If you're not a fan of platforming but are curious about the game, it is honestly not too difficult in that regard. You are heavily encouraged to explore and just take your time, you will not be punished harshly for any of it. I am very glad I got off my ass and played this game to the end.
