Gameplay

Players type out Japanese text prompts to advance through short Evangelion themed scenes hosted by Misato, with lessons built around activities like preparing bento boxes, singing karaoke, running synchronization tests, and typing pickup lines during a date. Progress and accuracy are scored, and owning both this game and its predecessor unlocked extra content shared between the two.

Development and Release

The game is the direct sequel to 1999's Typing Project-E, keeping the same typing tutor format but with a new set of lessons. Gainax released it for Windows in July 2000, then brought a Dreamcast port to market in 2001 that relied on Sega's keyboard accessory since the console lacked a full keyboard by default.

Legacy

The game originally supported an online leaderboard where players could submit typing scores, a service Gainax shut down in early 2004; the rankings now survive only in Wayback Machine snapshots. It remained a Japan only niche release, overshadowed within a few years by Gainax's own story driven raising sims.
