My god, it is the Little Prince. I mean, no, not really, but probably
as close as we'd ever get nowadays.

(I never really liked Saint-Exupéry's book. It seemed such a pointless
tale. But it had a unique and memorable style and the game seems to
capture some of that. Not much... but some ;-)

This is an old classic from 1994. It might only have low reviews
today, but it was quite well reviewed back when it was new. I actually
visited the real-life Hoboken just to compare it to this game
(unsurprisingly, it's completely different from the post-apocalyptic
version... even if it is in New Jersey ;-)



>What are your favorite games with low numbers of reviews?

I wouldn't even know where to look to see how many reviews any of the
game I play actually have. ;-)
