The pixel art is gorgeous, especially the work with the tree and the monster. And the ambiance is usually good. The game evoked a shudder during its climactic event. 

However, the game is paced oddly, and I wish I could've been through it in half the time. There were also several goofy noises or weird dialogue that took away from the mood.

That said, if you're a fan of the rest of the series, check it out.
