I found that this game was absolutely obsessed with being as difficult as possible pretty much from the get go. Once you dig deep enough, there is a lot of charm and creativity within it bit it's all marred by a fascination with unfriendly, teeth-grinding difficulty that just wasn't worth it in the end.
I really wanted to enjoy this game but it turned out to be everything I forgot I hated about 90s gaming turned up to 11.
