To be more positive the character design is pretty fantastic, given greater appreciation thanks to the dialogue mechanic with NPCs, complete with amateur but charming voice acting.

While the game doesn't entirely push the EFPSE to it's absolute limits, the structure of the campaign and the gameplay itself is so standout from the other DOSman Games EFPSE games it has to be praised.
