A city where rumors come true, and a reporter tracing the curse back to its source.

No gut pick in the data here, so let us read the profile criterion by criterion. The portrait is one of balance. The wish to discover it fresh again runs ahead of 75% of other titles, and the fun that holds you edges past two games out of three. The rest, attachment, desert island, soundtrack, sits around the middle. But one weakness stands out. Art direction falls to the very bottom, beneath 94% of games, and controller feel stays under two thirds, to be confirmed on few votes. This is a game that wins you through its story and mood far more than its motion or its look.

In older Japanese RPGs, this is a typical case. A dense narrative, a clever rumor system, but a presentation the years have left behind.

So, for who? For you if you love a twisted plot, dark themes, a system that strays off the beaten path. Much less so if you want a style that pops on screen first, or modern combat in your hands.
