It's quite literally a novel, with a few independent choices in between which will change the ending. I wouldn't call it so much a "game" as much as it is "reading a very good book with interactive choices."

Fine works of literature such as Catch-22, To Kill a Mockingbird, Steins;Gate, Do You Like Horny Bunnies 2, and Ulysses.

Ulysses is a great vn, every playthrough of that fateful day felt unique- not to mention the babes and ero scenes.

Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes are all a part of the same series. It's kind of one of those weird things which ties the series together.

I don't like how it's pretty much impossible to get the true ending without a walkthrough

Well to be fair on Steins;Gate, the shower thing happens because the protagonist thought she was going to be murdered. That's kind of the premise of the game, to prevent her death, failing and then use the new information you've obtained to push on a bit further in preventing it.

I mean it's still fanservice but at least it's not "oh protagonist-kun I'm all soapy and wet right now teehee" like most VNs are.

So I;m guess not knowing how semicolons work is a consistent problem with this rear end in a top hat who made them.
