Okay, so, I decided to replay this for the first time in fifteen years. It definitely shows that its a 2005 game, but in a way that makes it such a surreal experience. Like, Magus barely says anything beyond denying that he's Janus, it tries to do something with the Time Devourer but accidentally becomes a kinda-not-really prequel to Radical Dreamers(?), and also its just weirdly grindy on purpose. Like, the whole game is ten minutes long, but eight of those are just grinding up until you get Dark Matter, with the rest of the game after that point being just nuking the shit out of everything with it.
Like, its easy to say "this bad", but I'm mot sure if I necessarily dislike it? Like, its just such a weird flash in the pan type deal. I have no clue how to feel about this.
