I know this game came out around 2004, but whatever.
Has anyone played this bizarre game? I personally enjoy the music, well for most areas anyway. I found myself actually disturbed and bothered by a freeware game, which is something I can't say I ever have. If you guys haven't given this a shot, I think you should.

I also have to give a high recommendation for this game. It's kinda Earthbound-ish, except you go through these bunch of dream worlds and such, and as the game goes on (you collect items), it gets more and more freaky and fucked up. I'm not gonna spoil the last parts or ending, but holy god.

Yeah the Earthbound parts were great. The game starts out disturbing depending on which door you choose to enter. I personally hate the numbers world. The music terrifies me to end. The only redeeming factor about the numbers world is that its where you get the flute, which has my favorite BMG in the game. The ending shocked me as well. I remember spending a whole night playing and reading up on the game. I couldn't sleep well that night, which is ironic.

I'm now interested in this. At first I assumed it was another Japanese dating porn game.

Oh lord I know what you mean. Playing this is one of my more memorable gaming experiences I had. I feel so depressed and disturbed the longer I go on in this game, but I love every second of it. It's mesmerizing to say the least.
