Shin Seiki Evangelion 2: Evangelions

Cacti may speak Japanese, but do they speak it well?

'...But does it make sense?'
The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary!

Perhaps the best way to describe Shin Seiki Evangelion 2: Evangelions is as a role-playing game in the most literal sense. Eight different characters are playable across eleven different scenarios that play varying degrees of fast and loose with established canon.

Homosexual kissing? Dubiously-canon lore files? Actually making these people talk about their feelings? It's yours my friend, as long as you're fluent in Japanese.
