About The 257th Element
The 257th Element
SYNOPSIS
In a not-so-distant future, nations invest heavily in scientific research to address food shortages. This leads to the discovery of new elements beyond the 119th. Tokyo scientist Hikojuro Araki creates Araraginium, the 256th element, capable of generating life from nothingness. However, during the inaugural experiment, an unexpected accident scatters Araraginium across Tokyo.
Days later, a strange phenomenon occurs: individuals presumed dead reappear, retaining memories from before their demise. Dubbed Araragi Humans, they emerge from the period between the accident and 72 hours prior.
This story unfolds in Tokyo years later...

- Shinsei Shonogamigakuen High School
Futuristic and contemporary, this school boasts a striking design. Its rooftop, enclosed by invisible walls, offers a haven for students during breaks.
- The Island Where Dreams Come True
Emerging post-Araraginium experiment, this Pacific miracle attracts tourists with its enigmatic beauty. Dense mangrove-like forests paint a surreal backdrop.
- Cafe CHIENYAROU
A haven for Tokimune and friends, this café brims with retro games, manga, and even a bowling alley. Japanese afternoon tea adds to its charm.
- Araragi Human
Individuals who perished between the accident and 72 hours preceding the Araraginium experiment. Though they appear as ordinary humans, they vanish instantly if no one observes them. To prevent this, the government employs "Invisible Watcher," discreet surveillance devices installed on most Araragi Humans. Monitored around the clock by the government's Araragi Watcher organization, these devices ensure their continuous visibility, averting their disappearance.
- “Elements” in this story
When we refer to “elements” here, it's not about atoms. “Element” serves as an abstract concept containing properties. For instance, Araraginium isn't an atom with 256 protons. Elements past the 200th differ greatly from atoms, described by protons and neutrons. Many are comprised of minuscule elements smaller than protons and invisible elements. These are known as Gaia elements. The detailed explanation of Gaia elements is too complex for high school students, so we won't delve into it. However, Hamakado seems to grasp the concept well. If you're curious, we suggest asking her.

The main reason I bought this game was because I love the art and because there's not only Japanese but even English voice acting! The positive reviews also helped. In hindsight I should have known something was up with those reviews. When you take a look at them you'll notice that all of them only played for a few hours and yet they claim it's a long game. Some even admit they haven't finished the game because it's long but they haven't played in a year. There aren't really any playthroughs online, no professional reviews, no statistics, so how do all of them even know how long the game is? Clearly at least some must be fake. That doesn't change the fact that the artwork is really gorgeous and that there's English voice acting and it's actually quite good. The writing however not so much. In the few hours I've played. Yes I also only played a few hours but I'm not pretending otherwise. In that playtime I've only been going through meaningless chatter. I get that we want to get to know these characters in slice of life settings before the main story starts. However, the characters looking for a cat (that we as the audience haven't seen yet) by going through the cats and it's own…3 found this helpful
Me da gusto saber que los desarrollos pequeños de personas con gusto por el arte de los videojuegos aun sigue latiendo, es facil darse cuenta que no se tuvo una gran direccion o un liderazgo apropiado, pero el resultado es una clara muestra del gran compromiso que tienen con sacar un juego al mercado. Las adiciones que anuncian como los dialogos completamente vocalizados, suenan bien, se hara mas amena la experiencia. Nada destacable que comentar de la historia, Buen arte, buena musica.3 found this helpful
I lit cant wait for the voice update, reallyt want to enjoy this game by chilling on my steam deck or streaming big picture to my tv, so cozy I cant even The characters are so well drawn, beautiful2 found this helpful
I was able to play all the way past chapter 2, a bit further down the line, what iva got to say is that the story is ok, there are a lot of pacing mistakes, narrative contradictions, looking forward the voice acting, may get this game to be more enjoyable, just to sit down and watch. BTW whats with the main character? he is begging for some attitude adjustments1 found this helpful
