Truly my favorite entry in the Science Adventure series, and one of my favorite VNs of all time.
A shining example of SciAdv playing to its strengths of character writing, slice-of-life, detailed sci-fi aspects, and larger narrative worldbuilding. The characters are steeped in analysis of personalities and relationships. The slice-of-life is mellow and serves to explore the characters well. As someone with a degree in electrical engineering, I can speak to how realistic, yet wondrous, the sci-fi behind electromagnetism and robotics truly is in this entry. And not to mention how well the story of R;N fits neatly and expounds greatly upon the already established lore of Science Adventure.
It's truly one of the coziest, loveliest, most heartwarming stories I have ever read.
I love it dearly. Please read R;N if you haven't already.

easily peak SciADV took what was great in C;H and S;G and fixed the issues I had with them primarily the weak cast dynamic. nothing but fantastic characters even though one of them felt kinda rushed near the end but I still liked them. was such a treat for C;H and S;G fans.
BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE STUPID DUMB """""""ROUTE""""""" SYSTEM AAAAA PLEASE USE A GUIDE DURING PHASE 4. 9/10 Akiho is the GOAT

i would die for the robotics club.
i can't believe the depth and quality of the writing behind (most of) these characters. akiho and kai's relationship is one of the best, most unique, honest, and well-developed i've ever seen in a game.
the plot is classic SciAdv, with maybe too many elements from prior games pulled in and a bit of a rushed finale. but the first half of the game with slice-of-life character hangouts and a slowly unraveling mystery was masterful - I wish I could've stayed in that part of the game for another 40 hours.
it's a shame the sequel focuses on the worst character in steins;gate, but oh well.

I played the original many years back as a teenager, it was cool, quite scary for a kid. Nowadays as a full fledged NEET, the game just hits different, relating to the paranoid Nishijou Takumi is not cool by all means, but his messed up head and personality make the whole experience so much better. Mastering the game was awesome as well ESPECIALLY for the True Ending of the Game, it gave me the chills "Sakihata Rimi Inoru". Long story short, the game is a very close experience to putting your feet in the ocean of insanity and paranoia.
