Originally i had written quite a good review, this was right after my playthrough. however, after having a lot of time to think about what happened, and its implications on the overall lore, im pretty dissappointed. i dont have the same problems as a lot seem to have, but i do have problems. it seems like a lot more had been planned for the game and was then cut out, a lot of things from past games get referenced that immediately get thrown out, and there are only vague possible references to things i wish were more prominently and obviously shown/confirmed to be those things. i do however, really like the mechanic, a lot. i love the way they took a side-route from chaos;head noah and ran with it, i love the art style and music, and the characters are pretty nice. overall, i think this game had so much potential, and while it had taken a long time to release, i think it shouldve had even more time in the oven. my hopeless hope is that this game gets a revision, with a lot of the cut content in the future.

Although the price of ANONYMOUS;CODE may be considerably expensive in the year 2024, every dollar paid to this game is worth it - believe me. Just don't pay an absurd amount above 30 USD. In ANONYMOUS;CODE, the Science Adventure series visual novel experience was remastered for the better. The visual novel features dynamic UI animations and countless effects which grasps the attention of the reader into its palms. Without a doubt, ANONYMOUS;CODE is the visual novel in the Science Adventure series with the most effort put into it in the year 2024. The writing quality is through the roof as well. ANONYMOUS;CODE also features English voice acting as well as manga-like scenes, which are two features never seen before in prior Science Adventure series visual novels. STRONG RECOMMENDATION: Before playing this visual novel, play STEINS;GATE as well as STEINS;GATE 0 as there is an encounter with a STEINS;GATE character and because there are countless mentioned references to concepts touched upon in STEINS;GATE. I would also less recommend you to play CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, STEINS;GATE: My Darling Embrace, specifically, to read tips regarding RaiNet Kakeru episodes (credit to maximus1323 on Discord for catching the references) and to check out OCCULTIC;NINE before playing as well. About ANONYMOUS;CODE Beware! The large paragraph below contains spoilers not that important to know but felt crucial to share for explaining the story. The story begins in November of the year 2037 in the Nakano ward of Tokyo, Japan,. Third rate hacker and Nakano Symphonies team member Pollon Takaoka lies to his friends Wind and Cross about having a girlfriend. As a result of this decision, Pollon ends up in a predicament in which he comes up with a name for his fake girlfriend and has to wait at a location to go on a date with his supposed girlfriend while being watched by his friends from a distance. As Pollon considers his options of what to do during the wait, coincidentally a girl bumps into Pollon saying that she's here (for the date). She acts like she recognizes Pollon and Pollon addresses her with the fake name he came up with and the girl does not mind. She reads a part of a poem and walks with Pollon to a park in order to blend into a crowd as pretending to be a couple is an easy way to blend in. The girl accepts Pollon's fake name as an alias and says that she was actually waiting for someone who turned out to be Pollon according to an image that flashed into her mind. A bit later, the girl seems distressed and to know of an event that will occur right after. Right after, soldiers surround the two demanding the girl to go with them and Pollon rejects this demand and attempts to escape with the girl because... Pollon believes that Nakano Symphones is a team of anons that can not sit idly by when someone's in need! So, in ANONYMOUS;CODE, you will embark on a long adventure with the girl by your side! You can start your adventure by working to figure out why she's being pursued by those soldiers and what's up with these flashes appearing on her mind! Oh and by the way, Pollon has a unique ability that you can trigger throughout the game, which is Saving and Loading the world. It's reminiscent to time leaping in STEINS;GATE. Using this ability, progressing throughout your adventure should become easier. Lastly, ANONYMOUS;CODE is linear. It has a common ending as well as a true ending. It is also possible to encounter a total of 19 bad endings throughout your journey to the end though. My Review of ANONYMOUS;CODE Before continuing, I want to first note that I experienced ANONYMOUS;CODE using the [url=https://sonome.dareno.me/projects/ac-patch.html] Committee of Zero fan patch ("ANONYMOUS;CODE Improvement Patch) to read more accurate translations. This is truly a peak visual novel in the Science Adventure series when it comes to the reading experience. I loved this game so much, it feels impossible to dislike it! Here are some notes I took about the game: 1. The ending to the true route was the cherry on top to this game. If you didn't know, Momo's wish was to join Nakano Symphonies. I was happy to see Momo cross ways with Pollon again after he lost his memories. 2. I loved how in the true route, we could Load Pollon's save files to see how he fixed important events. I loved witnessing characters initially antagonist such as Asuma, and Graham join our side. If you didn't know, Felina and Ewan were isolated and imprisoned, rather than killed. I also loved how we were able to save [Kent] along with Momo. 3. I love the attention to detail in this game. Did you know that there are so many different Pollon voice lines that can be heard if you trigger a Load at the wrong time? And that there are a bunch of optional, bonus hack triggers throughout this game leading to bonus scenes? 4. It was touching to witness Momo accepting herself for who she is, even if she is not a real child of Fatima (Lucia), even if she's not a part of the Earth simulator, & even if she was created by the QCDC in the upper layer, in order to stop the 2038 problem from reoccurring. Seeing her determined to put an end to it, even if the probability is near 0, by overloading the QCDC of the layer we observed, by letting over a billion people connect to Momo to gain sacraments is a strong desire to resolve the Apocalypse ("the end") which is inspiring to me. 5. Another touching part was witnessing Pollon reaching out to us using the Black Knight and vortex coil. It felt refreshing to no longer just observe Pollon for once. 6. I loved the interaction with Amadeus [Kurisu] during the true route as a fan of STEINS;GATE. If anyone's curious about my ending order, here it is: 1. Conclusion 3 2. Conclusion 4 3. Conclusion 6 4. Conclusion 9 5. Conclusion 10 6. Conclusion 15 7. Conclusion 18 8. True Ending 9. Common Ending Conclusions are just a total of 19 bad endings , so, do your best to get to only the common ending as well as the true ending! However, if you're seeking 100% completion very early in a single playthrough, then use a guide. For the first time ever, I reached the true ending of a Sci. Adv. series VN before the common ending without knowing how to enter the true ending,yay! I stopped where I was to do the common ending first though, and I'm glad I did, it felt more better and right that way. Later, I did my cleaning-up to get the other conclusions I needed. I would recommend this guide if you need help: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031935702 My Pain Points About ANONYMOUS;CODE 1. In order to view a movie shown within the first 10 minutes of my gameplay, I had to change my laptop's NVIDIA GPU settings from integrated to dedicated. Thanks to lux0k on Discord for assisting me with this issue. 2. The particle effects (dust, rain and snow) need optimization, they can lag the game, at least in my experience as a RTX 3050 Ti GPU user. But please do not remove them in future entries, they were nice immersive touches well depicting the world environment at that moment! 3. The biggest cause for most of my conclusions was that I did not trigger loads at the very right line even though I knew I had to do a trigger around the right moment. Please allow triggers to work some few sentences before and after the required line as well! So, don't just limit it to a single line! The pros of this game outweigh the cons by miles, so I am glad I worked as Anon for Pollon. Nakano Symphonies FTW! Signing off with an iconic Pollon quote! "My team and I are anons with bright futures, who can't sit idly by when someone's in need!" - Pollon My Overall Rating: 10/10

im not usually a VN guy, but ive taken an interest in the genre, and i gotta say, that after AI the somnium files nirvana initiative, i dont feel like ive made a mistake to dive down that little VN rabbit hole

Mfs at SciAdv cooked yet again. Don't come in expecting Steins;Gate or a multiple route long psychological thriller like the Chaos; games, this one is way shorter (~20h) and linear (only 1 normal ending, 1 true ending and game overs if you make a bad decision). You'll get instead 20h of non stop action, from the first second you launch the game to the end credits there is always something happening without a single second of filler or slice of life. The most SciAdv entry out of all the SciAdv entries that will use, reference & answer almost everything that haven't been explained yet in the previous games (and also introduce even more complex concepts for the future entries), that's why having read all the previous VNs is very recommended. Recommended only to the hardcore fans who have read everything and whose soul & wallet are bound to the SciAdv deity, you'll have an excellent time as always with this entry.

Really engaging plotline. I love that they came up with a way to involve the player with a 4th wall break that doesn't suck or feel like an awkward gimmick. Also highly recommended if you're a fan of other games in the Science Adventure Series such as Steins;Gate.
