As far as I know, this game totally failed in market, in Japan & Western countries. Maybe due to these reasons.
- It's KONAMI game, but NOT like [Metal Gear Solid] nor [Silent Hill]. In fact, it's very Adventure game, not action style ones at all. Has less action than even [ICO]. Well. Who'd expect Pure Adventure from KONAMI? And for PS2?
- Graphic is outdated, when we compare this game to [Metal Gear Solid 2]. Cover tells us the truth, even before buying!
But this is another MUST-PLAY game, if you're fan of Adventure genre. Very unique & fun experience to try.
You are murdered by a stranger, and totally dead! Just right after game started! But don't worry. You are warped to another unknown dimension, and there is an anonymous helper. He (or she) assist you to go back to the past, Time Warp, and let you change the past. Change the Past, and Change the Future.
That's what this game is for. Do the Time Warp, not to Die.
You must die several times in the start of every chapter, but that doesn't mean real death. You are time-warped to the past, and might find how to avoid that. Isn't it cool? Could be really exciting & fantastic, until you stuck & see walkthrough.
5 multiending exists, and when you replay, something will pop up which was not appeared in the 1st. play. If you're Adventure Fan, another worth to try game. But some people will dislike, because you must die & die and die.
