STEINS;GATE: My Darling's Embrace

Freed from the shadow of tragedy, even the most ordinary days begin to feel precious. Perhaps happiness was there in those ordinary moments all along.

But he's a guy Then this is the choice of Steins:Gate El Psy Kongalee

Perfect. El Psy Kongroo.

I'm primarily recommending this for Kurisu's and Mayuri's segments. Kurisu's situation leans more into the comedy of Gadget #12 whereas Mayuri's (rightly) focuses on her subdued romantic interest in Okabe and how they overcome their awkward relationship issues. Unlike Linear Bounded Phenogram, though, the side characters' routes really aren't that interesting to read. It's mostly fluff (like the title promises). I'd only recommend this to you if you're in desperate need of SG content and have already read the other three entries. Having read all four now, I definitely think the original VN is still the best.

Have you ever thought "man after all the suffering in the original, I just want a game where the labmems hangout & have some ambiguous romance with the girls". Because that's exactly what this game is! Honestly I expected more romance in my romcom but it was more like 35%. So keep in mind, this game is for us hardcore S;G fans that like the slice-of-life first half of S;G. Play this if you wanna see the labmems experiencing these scenarios: - Kurisu: Couple's therapy with a shock collar - Suzuha: A "Back to the Future" reference - Moeka: It's not (lab)mem, it's (band)mem - Luka: Slay the dragon of internalized homophobia - Faris: Becoming maids to fight capitalism - Mayuri: Beach episode, also the childhood friend finally win. P.S: As a Suzuha stan, here's how I rate the overall story of each route from worst to best: Luka < Moeka < Kurisu < Mayuri < Suzuha < Faris.
