BINGO! As I said, the screenshots contained more hints than you might realize. Mainly the aspect ratio and the black bars.
Oh, and sorry about the somewhat low quality of the image. I pulled it from one of the videos from my Let’s Play of it from a few years ago. The video compression combined with jpeg compression made it a bit uglier than it normally would have been.
I find it ironic the only thing I remember of a game based on sounds is the eerie atmosphere of the pre-rendered house graphics. Must be very evocative though, because name just popped up at once!

Ah oops, maybe I meant ‘younger’. Relativity, all that, not a familiar concept.
The picture is actually from Carnage Heart Exa, the wonderful PSP version.
Congrats!
Cool. I never played (or even knew about) that flavor. I’ll get the next one up after the move.
