Linear Bounded Phenogram Soundtrack
Score: 8/10(Please note that this game may take between 20 and 30 hours to complete.)Steins;Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram is a Steins;Gate spinoff title that was initially released for Japanese audiences in 2013. At the time, the game was widely praised for its unique structure—in Phenogram, the player does not follow Okabe as the protagonist for the most part, which makes it unique in comparison to other Steins;Gate titles. Through its multi-short-story structure, the reader is given the opportunity to experience several stories that vary in tone and premise, many of which are told from the perspective of characters that are close to Okabe. Story:Phenogram puts you in the perspective of characters other than Okabe for the majority of the game.
This unique take on the format provides for some great world building and character development that the main Steins;Gate games don’t or can’t provide. In terms of tone, you’ll be seeing light-hearted fanservice and character moments, but you'll also experience some great moments of serious plot and emotional drama.Unlike the original Steins;Gate, Phenogram’s numerous routes were written by a variety of writers, which allows for quite a bit of varied content. Among the list of writers are:. Kotaro Uchikoshi ( Zero Escape, the Infinity series). Vio Shimokura ( Steins;Gate Suzuha route, Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi). Naotaka Hayashi ( Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate, Robotics;Notes).
Tooru Yasumoto ( Robotics;Notes DaSH). Presentation:The game’s presentation is very similar to the original Steins;Gate visual novel, which is not necessarily a negative. The game features art and character sprites by the talented Huke, alongside an atmospheric soundtrack composed by Takeshi Abo.As is expected from a fan disc, Linear Bounded Phenogram reuses many assets from the original Steins;Gate visual novel.

However, the game has many presentational surprises up its sleeve, what with original sprites featuring new outfits, and the addition of many new amazing soundtrack pieces. “Gate of Phenogram”, the game’s main theme, is probably the best rendition of “Gate of Steiner” thus far in our opinion. Takeshi Abo even spared the time to give 4°C, one of the most underappreciated Steins;Gate characters, his own theme.An issue we noticed was the lack of word wrapping for phone mail, a bug which was also present in the original visual novel. This bug can make mail difficult to read, and we hope that this issue can be addressed in the future by means of an official patch or fan patch. Conclusion:Linear Bounded Phenogram is a interesting foray into the world of Steins;Gate, and it’s a title that we would certainly recommend to those that enjoyed Steins;Gate/Steins;Gate Elite’s story and characters. While Phenogram is not necessarily essential to the original story in any way, it develops the world of Steins;Gate and Science Adventure very nicely. The content and context it adds through its routes typically ranges between average and quite good, which definitely makes it worth experiencing for any fan of Steins;Gate.
Story:The story is as follows: A group of teenagers, members of the makeshift “Future Gadget Laboratory”, discover that their microwave has the uncanny ability to send emails back in time to their phones in the past. The group, led by self-proclaimed mad scientist Okabe Rintaro, begins to conduct experiments with these emails that change the past, and therefore, the present and the future. What isn’t immediately obvious to them is that messing around with time is dangerous, and abusing their newfound discovery can lead to disastrous consequences.Steins;Gate's plot structure is commonly described as intriguing, scientific, and light-hearted in the first half of the story for the sake of character development and world-building. The second half of the story is where things truly pick up, putting the player through an emotional wild ride full of twists and turns that they won’t want to leave until its satisfying and powerful conclusion. As it stands, Steins;Gate Elite is a great way for old fans and potential new fans to experience the story.
Presentation:The main selling point of this game is that it’s animated. In contrast to most traditional visual novels, Elite is fully animated thanks to the already existing animations from the awesome anime adaptation. The anime adaptation didn’t cover every aspect of the visual novel, which is why the game introduces some brand new animated scenes from the same studio that worked on the anime adaptation, White Fox. Replaying the original visual novel with animation is like a brand new experience, it’s like seeing the game come to life.Oddly, the English ending credits contain quite a few strange typos. These typos were present in the original Japanese version of the game as well, and we hope that they can be addressed in the future.Some sound effects do sound out of place in Elite, likely due to them being carried over from the original visual novel without being updated for the new visual format. Notably, the time leap sound effect and the worldline shift sound effect remain the same, which is a bit jarring at times. Gameplay:The gameplay here is pretty standard for a visual novel, though it’s spiced up through the “Phone Trigger” system, which allows the player to read and reply to emails.
This system allows the player to receive certain achievements and reach certain routes depending on the message.A notable gameplay change from the original game is the “@channel” message board, a prominent feature in all Science Adventure games. @channel has been completely revamped in Elite, and threads have been greatly expanded with many new added posts in comparison to the original game. Conclusion:As it stands, we do not believe that Steins;Gate Elite is objectively superior to the original game due to some shortcomings and trade-offs, especially in the visual department.For those who are new to visual novels and familiar with anime however, Steins;Gate Elite is one of the best options out there for a first visual novel.
Not only will a player come to understand the mechanics and structure of a typical visual novel to the backdrop of the immersive anime animations, but the included Linear Bounded Phenogram bonus serves as a great complementary visual novel to be read after Steins;Gate Elite.For those who are looking to reread Steins;Gate, Elite is a great way to re-experience the visual novel for the many unique quality of life changes that it makes to the original experience. Score: 8/10Playthrough guide:(Please note that while our hour count may be low, this game may take over 50 hours to complete.)Chaos;Child is the fourth game in the Science Adventure Series, initially released in 2014 for Japanese audiences, and in 2017 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita for Western audiences.
Now, the game has received a brand new Steam port.The game follows Takuru Miyashiro and the rest of his friends in the Newspaper Club, as they investigate a series of bizarre murders that are occuring in Shibuya and bear a striking resemblance to another serial murder case from six years ago. However, Takuru soon realizes that he may be in too deep—the murder mystery that he was chasing is now beginning to chase him.Chaos;Child has multiple endings that can be reached by means of the “Delusional Trigger” system. The player can decide if the protagonist will experience a positive delusion, a negative delusion, or no delusion at all. To anyone that typically plays with a guide, we've written one that can be viewedThe translation for this release is largely the same as the console release, which is not necessarily a negative quality. The translator did a great job of conveying the story in the target language, which is an important factor considering the intricacy of the game’s plot.We did notice a few issues in this release which will likely be fixed via, and hopefully through official updates as well. These issues do not interfere with one's enjoyment of the game for the most part, but we hope they are addressed in the future.The script seems to contain many typos and would probably benefit from another editing pass. These typos do not interfere with one's understanding of the plot.
One segment of the game requires the player to pinpoint a few areas on an in-game map that is untranslated as of this review. Until this is patched, here is a link to an image that shows you what to select:.
Playing the game at the lowest supported resolution (1024×576) will cause sprites to appear as if they are pixelated. We recommending playing in either 1280×720 or 1920×1080.To conclude, Chaos;Child is an amazing game, and it’s the one of the best stories in the SciADV Series.
If you’re a fan of Science Adventure, or a fan of visual novels in general, you’ll definitely want to give this story a shot.As a side note, be sure to check out Operation HiddenHand, a fan initiative aiming to bring more Science Adventure titles to the West in an official capacity.
