In fact he brilliantly used his outsider's perspective to lampoon and tweak them. My favorite examples are the pencil statues, making fun of seemingly arbitrary obstacles in RPGs by introducing a self-admitted arbitrary obstacle, and the rolling HP counters, which cleverly introduced an element of real-time to an otherwise entirely turn-based battle system. I would also like to once again shout out the third strongest mole as the most brilliant ludo-narrative joke in all of gaming. |

IIRC, the solution was equally silly-- a literal pencil eraser.
I remember the game having a lot of cheeky David Bowie references too. Starman is an obvious one as a recurrent character, and correctly figured that the fight with Carbon Dog wasn't going to end so easily.
