I've played this; and actually have a soft spot for it.
In concept; you are a teenage kid who works for Special Ops as a Psychic. You're charged with finding mind parasites called Silent that can turn their victims into overly-emotional psychopaths. There's apparently a terrorist in a city infecting the locals with Silent, so you go undercover as a high school kid to try and find out who it is. What follows is a surprisingly good story of befrending locals, stopping suicides, and some legitimately creepy mind reading.
The character designs are really good - and the game makes an effort to make almost everyone you meet relevant in some way - even if they don't have a bearing on the main plot. The voice acting is also really good - but the translation is terrible for a bunch of reasons.
If I knew how I would totally make a patch that corrects and improves the dialogue - the interesting concept deserves the extra polish in execution.
