/vr/ - Retro Games

I didn't since I didn't know of its existence in 1997 nor I had watched Eva back then

I wish I could understand the appeal of visual novels. Does this one do anything different?

If you're not horny for 2D characters you're not missing anything.

It's kinda like watching an interactive episode, with some "choose your own path" elements.
It's all still images, but fully voiced and with good art

I don't know, any actual Japanese people on this board who are old enough to remember?

Probably <0.01% of 4chan users there.

A ridiculous question from OP.

Yeah, japanese people have better sites to post to than fucking /vr/

A lot of westerners probably just found out what Evangelion was in 1997 (since that's when it got dubbed), and didn't know there was a VN.
Unless you were in Japan at the time and knew Japanese, you weren't playing this in 1997

The show was pretty much a big deal in its day. I remember first reading about the game on the Gainax website. They were promoting the game with its basic premise of a mysterious new student that has taken interest in the protagonist. It was enough to get me interested but I was unable to afford the game, and made a decision to get the screensavers CD-ROMs instead. I did not too long after got the game bootlegged from a clothing store and I thought it was paced directly like an actual episode of the show. It was a bit disappointingly cheap that they used the same voice talent that portrayed Ayanami to do Kirishima but I thought it was still a good game and a great new character. The game was not my first visual novel, but still one I like because I like the female characters of the show.

Evangelion media tie-ins always looked so weird

is that shinji-post transition on the right?

Don't forget about official Gainax calendars with naked child characters in them.
