Obsoletes movie #424 (1:05:43.3)
Rating: 5.2 (12 votes)
- Aims for fastest time
- Takes damage to save time
- Abuses programming errors in the game
- Manipulates luck
- Genre: Adventure
This is a long RPG-like adventure game with lots of witty dialog and the hero equipped with a yoyo.

This is a ~4 minute improvement to the previous movie by Sami O..

A major part of this shortening comes from a glitch that skips the last chapter of the game, ignoring certain plot details. If you want to see the actual ending, watch the previous movie.
