I've just finished the playthrough and I am so impressed. Many years ago I left it halfway through and it was totally worth going back and finishing the game. It makes you follow the story and empathize with the characters, and I obviously need to play The Longest Journey now to better understand some things like the recurring characters and lore. Although it feels like it is just part of a whole series, it is definitely worth playing. It is also nostalgic: the 2000s artifacts like the cell phones and outfits, along with the visuals and music, really make it a nice, precious memory from the past.
