Goichi Suda
The series picked up a fan base. Writing about the original game two games, "Den Faminico Gamer" wrote that they were great single-player experiences thanks to their strong atmosphere. They felt the individuality of the three girls was well characterized, and they enjoyed the unique side-scrolling movement in a horror game. "Famitsu" enjoyed the unique gameplay as well, and the 3D sound. Writing about the "Saikai", "Famitsu" again praised the sound atmosphere and believed the polygon graphics bettered the production value. In 2006 game designer Hideo Kojima said he was a "big fan" of "Twilight Syndrome" and that he wanted to collaborate with Goichi Suda.
