However, when Rintarou decides to attend neuroscientist Kurisu Makise's conference on time travel, he experiences a series of strange events that lead him to believe that there is more to the 'Phone Microwave' gadget than meets the eye. Despite claims of grandeur, the only notable 'gadget' the trio have created is a microwave that has the mystifying power to turn bananas into green goo. Together with his ditzy but well-meaning friend Mayuri Shiina and his roommate Itaru Hashida, Rintarou founds the Future Gadget Laboratory in the hopes of creating technological innovations that baffle the human psyche. I think Elite is best as a 2nd or later experience, so you can see what's different.Eccentric scientist Rintarou Okabe has a never-ending thirst for scientific exploration. That said, I don't think Elite is terrible, I just don't think it should be your first foray into the SciADV VNs, doubly true if you plan on moving onto S G0 and C C, both of which I would definitely recommend. And sometimes, like in the first dream experience, said animation can be very distracting and disorienting. Meanwhile in Elite, it feels like at times you're reading what's happening on the screen. There's a lot less movement, and it's easier to focus on what's going on. I personally found parts of it to be very repetitive, and if you have a keen eye for detail, some parts of the reuse and recycling can be very jarring.Įlite tries to sell itself by being an immersive VN experience by using the anime's animation, but I find reading the original to be more calming, if that makes sense. It re-purposes and recycles a lot of frames from the entire animation, some of it can be done well, but if you're coming off the anime, it actually might burn you out. The text messages of 'I sent you this picture/song' from Faris/Mayuri are still in Elite, but there's nothing of it, whereas everything is there in the original, even being able to customize your phone ringtone/wallpapers.Įlite's presentation can also be very wonky, at times.

Elite also forsakes a lot of its interactivity in its phone trigger system. People like to bring up the inherent loss of 4C as a result of no animation for him, but I actually found that a lot of even simple, smaller interactions and internal thoughts were cut for the sake of 'trimming the fat', so to speak. One of which is being cheaper, yes, but also Elite streamlines and cuts out some text. I've got both, and I'd actually recommend the original VN for quite a few reasons.
