Fantastic story, if you like time travel/mulitiverse stories.
Very much a visual novel though, your input is simply down to choosing to answer calls/read texts/reply to texts etc. So if you are looking for a more interactive game steer clear :smiley:
Played this all the way through on vita tempted to buy again on ps3

Well it started with this visual novel game i beleive. I personally prefer the series. It is subtitles only to. I think you definitely need patience to play this game.
A sequel game came out in Japan in December, so itll be turned into anime format in due time im sure

The game is the original, not the show. The game is also much better than the show as well, it gets extremely emotional.

Non-linear? It's very linear. The choices (of which simply involve you using your phone or not) you make barely make a difference until the very very end, in which it's almost impossible to get the true ending, meaning your game simply gets cut short.
Didn't enjoy this at all.
