i got to the hemiangel (barely) on my first try so like peb i was able to immediately click like, "yeah i knew dark mgaic would have to be good for something!!!!"
does that fit what you wanted? unsure. maybe being genre savvy undermines the point. thankfully, i think the atmosphere (especially that tagline, "a mountaintop is like an altar"... oooooh that's so good) helps carry it. i think if anything, after years of mapping and slow-walking perverts on GamingW disillusioned me, Dalig and Sacrifice have reminded me that rm2k can produce mind-bogglingatmosphere out the wazoo even with just rtp.
anyway i beat it second try. i think this is my favorite behind dalig. (third is waldemar's ranch party currently)
