I didn't want to leave a review quite yet, as I have yet to complete the game's 11 (IIRC) endings (which is something I absolutely will do no matter how long it takes), but good lord. At ending 1B with ~50 hours clocked, this game was enthralling and haunting all the way through. The map layouts and the environment design, the music (oh my lord the music, i don't think a single song missed. top three are lethe, in void, and knossos configuration) made it a joy to explore, and I wasn't just excited to progress in the map, I was also always excited to try new weapons, armor, skills (whether they be from program extensions or purchased with AP). The dungeon crawling along with the engaging combat brought me back to the first time I played Digital Devil Saga on my mom's old PS2, and that coupled with the entirely unique, surreal character design and pixel art that just scratches that itch in the brain makes for an unforgettable experience for me. I look forward to piecing together the whole of this game in the future
