There's actually very little storyline, just a macabre, and seemingly neverending, series of complicated and slightly dangerous-looking machinery to beasts move through. There is a style to this game that reminds me that these games I love and play are indeed created by artists. The director of this game was Haruhiko Shono, who made a trio of very unusual and stylized games in the early beasts nineties, of which this is one. Shono definitely has his own concept of what constitutes an adventure game, and these rare Japanese imports are a great view beasts into this artist's mind's eye. The music is late eighties techno pop, entirely synthetic and completely appropriate. The sound of it melds into the hum of the machinery, which creates quite an effect. There are no straight puzzles to speak of—instead, the mainstay of the gaming experience here is in the exploration of the complex and the job of getting the machines all running.
