As a teenager first getting into anime with Evangelion, I was always so intrigued about this untranslated PC game that I would read about on forums but never get to play.
In reality, I shouldn't have been disappointed that I wouldn't get to play it. It's an extremely basic visual novel that's only about 2-3 hours in length and the ending is determined by a single multiple choice prompt right at the end. The writing is pretty generic VN romance fair, with the characters' personalities only having a vague similarity to their anime counterparts. It's as though the writing team had the characters and plot hurriedly described to them over the course of a short elevator ride and had to scrape together something without being allowed to actually watch the show.
Also, I'm not sure if this is only on the PSP version I played, but the game is permanently set to auto-play, so you can't pause or save until you reach one of the very few interactable scenes that amount to selecting a dialogue prompt or moving to a new location. This would have made it impossible to take an unplanned break if I hadn't been able to pause the emulator.
Girlfriend of Steel is short enough to maybe be worth looking at if you're particularly curious about a piece of internet anime nostalgia, but I couldn't really recommend it.
