on paper, this game is nothing that special. however, i find that it has something to offer in being a shockingly idiosyncratic title in a genre that traditionally is anything but. elements like the hypnotic, dissonant, droning soundtrack combined with the grotesque and surreal imagery more than make up for some standard telenet gameplay (read: dull and kind of jank). to learn that the scenario writer for this game would go on to write MOON and L.o.L. during his time at Love-de-lic did not surprise me in the slightest. totally worth a look if you like castlevania or valis, and have switch online (or an emulator)
