- Classic turn-based combat system
- Stylish hand-drawn graphics
- Original music

Looks like some kind of adventure game.

What does "meme" relate to in this context?

Deliberately obtuse designs. Dialogue made for laughs. That sort of thing. If you read some of the negative reviews you will get an idea.

You're not making it sound very appealing you know

I quick-scanned the review section - but couldn't make sense of it.

As I mentioned in another thread, something strange has happened to aggregate scores - and while I've never really relied on them for anything but kicks, I'm finding them exceedingly useless these days.

Forewarned is forearmed. Consider this newspost a public service announcement.

What I like: art design, environments.

What I dislike: the fact that 80% of the game will be spent walking across floors, and 15% reading banks of text.
