* ObviousBeta: Definitely. The game's innovative and well-written story and atmosphere are often marred by the rather clunky and buggy engine. There are quite a few annoying bugs that can mess up the gameplay or disrupt its otherwise highly immersive atmosphere. And the wobbly and seemingly rushed English translation and dub needlessly add to the already existing issues.
** The HD remake was released in 2015, with correct (well, more correct than before; "Simon is a sorcerer?" is still there) English translation and improved graphics.

Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


** Arguably, there's also [[spoiler:the hunchback and [[FlunkyBoss his squad of arsonists]]]] in the Bachelor's scenario, though he isn't much tougher than a regular enemy. And again, it's [[BonusBoss optional]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The game opens up with our three healers in the middle of the theater stage, discussing the best method to save the town. The way they discuss the matter and even how they leave the stage succinctly shows how each player character will behave in their runs--The Bachelor acts more rational and leaves by the stairs, the Haruspex is willing to get his hands dirty and leave backstage, and the Changeling is more whimsical and outright jumps from the stage, showing she doesn't quite play by their rules.



** The Bachelor: [[spoiler: Destroy the town to save the Polyhedron. However, the Miracle of the Polyhedron is implied to be subverted by the Kains, creating an immortal social elite lead by the Scarlet Mistress.]]
** The Haruspex: [[spoiler: Destroy the Polyhedron to save the town. However, the town will regress into an era of traditionalism, spearheaded by the Haruspex and lead by the children of the town]]
