Very unique game. The story line is just fluff for the puzzle aspect. I ended up skipping over most of the story and just getting on with the puzzles. The story graphics are a bit explicit for a sexy genre game, but also classy and funny. The puzzle is a sequence of dreams where your avatar has to climb various shifting block towers; by analogy the endless climb and evolution of his life. Abstract strange monsters of emotions and morality attack, different kinds of blocks operate with different mechanics and properties, techniques for building and navigating stairways must be mastered, and sheep constantly give advice and interfere. The puzzles are difficult and challenging. You need patience to figure them out. Be careful not to save over your game settings, the slot identifiers are unclear, or else you will be playing the same levels over and over again. Expect that it may take 100 attempts to climb a single tower. The hard setting is really really hard. If you like concentration and pattern games like pacman or tetris, then this game is loads of fun.Read full review
I'm a huge Atlus fan, so in my biased opinion, this game is AMAZING! This game is Puzzle meets Psychological Horror meets Romance meets Visual Story. Graphics are good, not great, but it's Xbox 360. There weren't 4K graphics at this time. They're really good for its time. Story was compelling from start to end for me. I haven't found time to do every alternate ending though, so it could be different depending on how you play. Gameplay was somewhat repetitive, but gradually more challenging, which was enough to keep me second-guessing every move in later levels, but running out of time to care if I made a mistake or two and just hope for the best. It was super challenging at times and made me scream in agony at how difficult a few of the puzzles were (I failed 34 times on one of them before rage quitting, where I came back the next day to fail probably another 20-30 times before actually getting it). So all in all, not a great relaxing puzzle game like Bejeweled, this game will make you cry and you'll like it in a weird way. I feel like this is another crazy amazing game from the twisted minds at Atlus, and can't find too much to harp on as far as complaints go. The controls are easy enough, although as rushed as this game makes you, you're bound to mess up and instead of climbing up a block you're dangling off of, you'll mistakenly press the drop button and plummet to your untimely death where you'll then sit and think about if you should click Continue for the 20th time or simply rethink your meaningless existence as you sit there staring at your TV with a bag of Doritos next to you that you thought you might munch on, but couldn't because you couldn't free your hands from your controller for half a second because that half a second would have meant your video game character might die, but you still died, and now you haven't even eaten a third Dorito, and your mouth is screaming just one more, but so is your brain on if you should click that Continue button, so you're left confused and upset. Definitely recommend!!Read full review

This is a really fun game involving a time crunched puzzle to climb a tower. I honestly really like it, and it has a lot of story. It is almost like an interactive anime. Each level, you have opportunities to obtain good and/or bad karma, which dictates the hero's responses to his girlfriend and lover. At times, it can be really creepy, but at the same time, really deep. I haven't finished it yet, but it is one of my new favorite games. I only wish it had come out for the pc.
First of all, it's a japanese game. Angsty protagonist who really lacks in the balls section, but if your playing the game for the story, watch a movie or read a book. Overall the game is a puzzle game, straight and simple, it's a very HARD puzzle game but it's not the kind of hard that makes you give up, instead it makes you want to try over and over to win. There are some control difficulties, but overall i felt very satisfied after finishing the game and am even debating playing it through a second time on the hardest difficulty. There are very suggestive themes to this game, well deserving the M rating. This game is well worth a play through, it truly is a modern day puzzle game.
Love this game, I was excited to find it in such a lower price. Recommended to anyone who loves manga and anime.
