Edge of Midnight is a guilty pleasure of mine. The core of the idea and the system are good IMO. I particularly enjoy the fact that rolls take into account success based on natural aptitude, skill or a combination of both. The only problem is that the setting lays perhaps the thinnest framework of any RPG I've ever read. There's so much room for the GM to fill that it feels like too much.
Then again if I ever want to run something akin to the movie Cast A Deadly Spell, this game is a quick and easy way to do just that. I don't regret owning it, and didn't trade it in when I did many other games recently.
It reminds me of Engel actually, something that always felt incomplete but oddly compelling (at least the english translation anyway.)
