Played A-Side. I'm absolutely in love with the aesthetic and vibes, and the sense of exploration and openness is really cool. The dialogue is really memorable, too. I'd say the difficulty is roughly on par with the first quest, maybe with some slightly more complex navigation. One of the coolest Z1-style quests I've played in a while.

Very solid quest all around! For reference I played the A-Side version (not a chance I'll ever touch B-Side). The quest is very Z1-like, especially when it comes to overworld design and dungeon design. I do like how as you complete every dungeon the world continues to open up more and more until you are free to explore everywhere. That kind of progression is great. The dungeons are designed interestingly and some have cool gimmicks to them. The mini dungeons you find along the way compliment the main dungeons quite well and I certainly like how you get thrown off by having to visit later ones much earlier than anticipated to get items to progress.

I don't have much to critique but I will say that I feel the main dungeons are all far too short IMO. Makes sense for maybe the first 2 dungeons or so but I certainly think for A-Side the later dungeons should've been expanded since I feel they just went by too fast until you get to Level 9 which is huge in comparison. That's all really though.

Overall a very solid quest, I had fun playing it and it's nice to see classic style quests pop up now and again. A solid 4/5 from me.

(Review after having played B-Side)
Absolutely peak. I cannot complain that the difficulty is too high or the secrets too obscure, because that is what it must be. Completely succeeds in its Type B vision. Never have I been driven to such anger in ZC, nor such satisfaction from victory.
