![]() Kojiroh will also make new encounters: Mayo, a mysterious girl studying at the school, and Ichigusa, the school doctor, who always keeps an eye on him. Moreover, right around the time the teacher disappeared, a body was found in the park in the school's vicinity. Visiting El International School for the first time in a year, Kojiroh investigates the disappearance of Minato Minogami, the missing teacher, and notices how unnatural the case is. Guided by his instinct, Kojiroh accepts the case. She asks Kojiroh to look for a temporary lecturer from the school, who went missing. On a cold winter day, Kikka, a young female student from El Internationnal School, visits Kojiroh's agency, a determined look on her face. As with the original game, Kojiroh and Marina's stories are seemingly unlinked at the beginning.įollowing the events of Eve Burst Error, Kyouko Himuro joined Kojiroh's detective agency, but Kojiroh is unhappy as they only get boring cases. Meanwhile, Eve Rebirth Terror is basically the first true sequel the original game ever got, but it is written by Kasa Sakaki, as Hiroyuki Kanno sadly passed away in 2011.Įve Rebirth Terror already had a short story introduction published with the game's announcement, but El Dia now published a new, detailed story introduction:Įve Rebirth Terror takes place one year after Eve Burst Error. Eve Burst Error had many pseudo-sequels and spin-offs in the past, but none of them were written by original author Hiroyuki Kanno. I’ve recently played through the original game's remaster, Eve Burst Error R, and I must say it has one of the best stories I’ve ever seen, and I can understand now why the game has such an outstanding reputation. Eve Rebirth Terror's limited edition and pre-order goods were also detailed, and last but not least, the game's opening movie was published as well. Famitsu also published an interview with Kotono Mitsuishi and Takehito Koyasu, who respectively voices protagonists Marina Hojo and Kojiroh Amagi. El dia revealed the game's full cast list and profiles for the new characters. I don’t expect sequels to be as good as the original, but hopefully they’re at least a 6.5-7 if Burst error is 8+.El Dia published tons of new info for Eve Rebirth Terror, the new sequel to the critically acclaimed masterpiece Eve Burst Error, a visual novel first released in Japan in 1995. Meanwhile Marina is stuck in a romance that is the awkwardest kind of awkward.Īnyway, I’m now trying to find some of the sequels, like Eve The Fatal Attraction and Eve New Generation X. The game seems to lean towards Yayoi for Kojiroh’s true love interest, although it doesn’t seem entirely sure whether it wants them back together or not. There aren’t really “heroines” since there are no routes, but Kojiroh does find himself surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women who have some kind of affection for him developed in several days. Some of the dialogue had me really laughing, especially when Kojiroh was mocking Nikaido. I came for the mystery, stayed for the characters. Marina is one cool gal, and not a female protagonist you’d see every day. The protagonists are great, to the point that I’m considering digging into some of the sequels to see more of the character interactions. Switching between Kojiroh’s and Marina’s scenarios is key to the game, and provides a unique dual-protagonist experience. Nevertheless it was a fun experience with more 90’s style characters. Most of the plot points didn’t surprise me (I would have been more surprised if I played this as one of my earliest mystery VNs, but its age certainly shows), except for the ending which felt too fast and requires a rather stretched suspension of disbelief because it threw in some sci-fi when the rest of the game had a decidedly normal “modern” 90’s setting. I say it feels like Ace Attorney because there’s a lot of silly options and dialogue, a point & click-ish investigation gameplay, and a story that begins with a small case but ends on a big one. ![]() Kojiroh is an entertaining protagonist, as well as Marina. It has a little bit of various things: murder mystery, politics, romance, ecchi (no h-scenes in English release). The story isn’t particularly deep, but the mystery kept me interested throughout. ![]() It almost feels like an Ace Attorney game with only the investigation parts, two protagonists, and more risque situations. Behind the horrendous system and 90’s art that take a while to get used to is an interesting mystery and fun characters. ![]()
