    Honestly, as janky and nonsensical as the original was, it had a really great atmosphere. The mystery itself was also intriguing. And even though they improved some elements of the original with the remastered version, they lost the atmosphere that the original had. Therefore, I prefer the original.
    And considering how they changed up quite a few elements of the original (like adding a new character, changing the motive for the murder, changing the culprit, etc.), I'm surprised they didn't flesh out the characters more. I feel like that was one of the biggest faults of the original.
    Overall: well done, but could have been better.

      Well said. There's at least one nice thing about that game for me though, and that's the locations. The beach and jungle are nice, and Kapu Cave is cool. SCK Remastered is so dull that the school is no longer as mysterious and the diner is no longer as inviting as in the original.
