But while Katamari Damacy backs up its quirky premise and great soundtrack with a fantastic mechanical hook, Takahashi’s latest, made at his new studio uvula, tries to succeed on charm alone. To a T’s reveal trailer immediately won over potential players. To a T’s cartoonish presentation won me over quickly, but it’s also what eventually soured the game for me. The eight episodes of the game don’t cohere into much beyond a cute, surreal slice of life with a crushingly obvious lesson to wrap it up in the end. Teen’s classes provide a few more minigames, but they don’t add any depth to the experience of playing as Teen.
