Re: Review: Root Film - A Surprisingly Grown-Up Visual Novel

@Ahlvin23 If you watched the anime, you should be good. I did feel like the game went quite a bit deeper, but that’s usually the case with visual novels. Both the Steins;Gate game and anime are fantastic.

I think you’re right that the original version isn’t on Switch. Just the version that splices in anime scenes.

@Blooper987 It’s always been one of those Japan-exclusive games that people hype up as being amazing. Since it’s over 20 years old now, I just kind of figured it wouldn’t get a US release.

When Tim Rogers (YouTuber/former Kotaku staff) talked at length about how he was one of the guys translating it for an English release, I was sold. Tim understands how a localization should work, so I believe he’s going to make this release shine.
