Key points

Japanese text will not be displayed correctly when played with non-Japanese Unicode settings. See here for a workaround.
Although the game was released overseas by Nyu Media, it was released only with Japanese audio and subtitles. An executable with English subtitles is available.
Runs poorly on modern Windows systems.[2][3] See this guide for a possible solution.
