It's insanely gorgeous. It's clear that the artist was having a blast drawing weird characters, and going around meeting them is the real joy of this game.
There's enough dialogue to let the game linger in the memory after it's done.
The Gameboyishness was a little low (maybe if Eriq walked on tiles/half tiles or if the NPCs blocked his movement...) But since it's in service to such a handsome game it was hard to deny I had a great time. And hey! You can read minds.
I really liked the talking noises, but overall the game's audio was too loud. I had to turn my browser audio down significantly.
