Description
"Element-174" is an adult sci-fi visual novel set at Branchfield University, where you play as a male student who has just been accepted. As you meet various students and faculty members, a mystery gradually unfolds that will fundamentally change you and everyone around you. The game is built around deep, branching narrative choices that shape your relationships and determine which of 16 character routes you experience.
The core gameplay revolves around decision-making with meaningful consequences. Your choices influence which characters develop romantic or antagonistic feelings toward you, and there are no early game-overs—you progress through the story regardless of your decisions, though different paths lead to vastly different outcomes. The game is structured in episodes of 7 in-game days each, with 4 episodes planned in total. Due to the extensive branching paths and interconnected character routes, the game is designed to be replayed multiple times to experience all content.
