The lackluster sound design is the worst thing about this game. The patient demons burping for every step they hit as they fall down the stairs being the infamous worst of it, but even the stock jaguar roar you hear here feels very much not up to the Silent Hill standard.

This was the first game that Yasumi Matsuno (Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics) worked on.

I played this and the other Rinkworks games *so much*.

I liked these, but didn't buy them very often, and realized they were discontinued maybe ten years ago when I had a craving for them and couldn't find them. I think they were too similar to the Honey Bunches of Oats family of cereals and were rendered obsolete.

I doubt I would have liked these, yet I still wish I could try them.

I think I bought this once before it was discontinued, because I'd gone my whole childhood without trying it and was curious. It was just Captain Crunch with a somewhat unappealing jagged texture. Boring, bottom-tier kid's cereal, but I kind of have nostalgia for just seeing it on the shelves.

I like 'em, but if the store has Jelly Belly licorice bridge mix, I'm getting that instead.

the separate perspectives of three people, two females, one male, in dark corridors. their hearts can be seen at the left side of each perspective and their faces can be seen on the right side. the male is scared by a female fanged 1/2 serpent, 1/2 human creature. a map can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the screen. backdrop is blood, arteries, vessels.
