The characters of the game were designed by Harold Sakuishi, creator of the Beck manga series.
The game was showcased in playable form at the Square Enix Party 2005 in Japan.

No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
