About

Burst Error: EVE The 1st. is a remake of EVE Burst Error, redone from scratch and without explicit adult content. While the base story of the original is used as an underlay, character design, graphics, soundtrack and voice-acting are done completely anew. There are changes in the original scenario as well as newly added scenarios and characters. The multi-sight system, which switches view between protagonists Marina and Kojiro, is polished to work better with the new story and the way the game is presented. The game has all the main features of a visual novel game, quick save/load feature, ability to toggle the dialogue text to display the clear background with the on-screen characters, message log, multiple choices that branch the story, and lots of unlockables such as CG gallery, BGM player and concept art gallery.
