I loved playing the free 2003 rpgmaker release back in 2012 when I was a 13 year old tween - but this is definitely still worth the buy! It's the original but better - better sprites, better art, controller support, language support AND YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY IN FULLSCREEN ON A MODERN COMPUTER WITHOUT IT LOOKING LIKE A 144p YOUTUBE VIDEO! For people that aren't familiar with the original - this game has a beautiful soundtrack and unique art style, puzzles that feel fun to do and characters you either love or hate (or both! :D) - it's that sort of game that even if you reach 100% completion you still find yourself playing it over and over again cos it's that nice of a game!

This was a very unique game, the story was great and the different endings made it worth while. The singular achievement takes strategy and retracing steps to get. Overall, I would recommend this game!
Beautiful RPGMaker-style puzzle game. Really caught me with it's atmosphere and style. Easily 10/10 for what it's worth and what it offers.
