This game is wild! The Dev transported me back to the good old days of MS-DOS gaming, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. This game may not be the pinnacle of optimization (it's awful), but that's exactly what adds to its charm.

From the moment I fired up the game, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia, reminiscent of the times when I used to spend hours tweaking autoexec.bat files and fiddling with config.sys settings. It's as if the developers purposefully left a bit of the '90s in their game's code, and the result is nothing short of enchanting buggyness.

The game delivers precisely what it promises. It's incredibly frustrating, and there's no denying that you'll encounter countless moments of hair-pulling exasperation. Yet, somehow, that's where the magic lies. Every level is a riddle to solve, an intricate puzzle that dares you to defy the odds. It's a testament to the time when games weren't just handed to you on a silver platter.

What really stands out is the immense "sense of accomplishment" you feel when you finally conquer a level. Beating these challenges isn't just a win; it's a victory parade, a triumph you'll remember long after you've put down the controller. The satisfaction of figuring out the patterns, outsmarting the game's quirks, and mastering its rough edges is an unparalleled high.

It's a true rarity to find a game like this in the modern gaming landscape. It's a living testament to the bygone era of gaming where technical hiccups and hardware limitations only fueled our determination to succeed. This game unapologetically carries that torch, paying homage to the early days of gaming and capturing the essence of what made it so special.

In summary, this game may not be the poster child for optimization, but it doesn't need to be. It's a nostalgic journey, an homage to the past that allows us to relive the trials and tribulations of gaming's infancy, especially when it pushed into 3D. It's exactly as advertised, frustrating yet remarkably rewarding, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a challenging experience that harkens back to a time when every victory felt hard-earned, Hope you have a lot of holes-less drywall at the ready. Give it a try, embrace the frustration, and let the sweet taste of triumph be your ultimate reward!
