It's weird that the only other real-time adventure game I know of (The Last Express) also came out in 97. Must have been something in the water around that time.

This game looks fascinating, and absolutely bizarre. I can't say I have a strong desire to play it, but I would watch a playthrough of it.

Same here. It's not the type of game that seems worth the time investment, but it makes for a great video essay! Maybe some of its ideas could be re-used in a more polished experience someday.
