It's the Final Countdown.
I'm very happy that I played it, I think it is worth the $30 that it is currently priced at, and I encourage anyone who has even a slight interest in the visual novel genre to check it out.

Considering the one in the archive is based off of the very outdated fan-translation, I was considering it. However, I chose not to, because I believe the story is the game itself, and it'd be much better if people continued to support games like that on their own funds, and have their own experiences while going through it.

EDIT: I might do a reading of a few chapters on my hitbox channel. Depending on reception and outcome, I'll see how I act from there.

When I played through the visual novel, there were no scenes which would suggest, hint at, or even reference pedophilia.

Who, Kurisu?
She's 18 even in Japan. Unless you mean Mayuri who is 16 but she's not a college graduate by any means.

Yes but good luck finding anime related games which don't. Persona 4 has bathing underage girls and nobody seems to complain about that.

You're not one of those people on Games who bitches about anime and then gushes about Chrono Trigger the next minute are you? Despite Chrono Trigger also being anime as gently caress.

Yeah, I saw where you were coming from in regards to that particular moment. I found a way of thinking about why divergence would change at that point which would counterclaim your claim that what you have said is a "plothole". Then again, this is a game about time travel, s everything gets kind of screwy at one point or another.
