Gameplay

Play revolves around a Tamagotchi style raising loop. The player manages the Angel's energy, the makeup of its surrounding fluid, its defensive field, and doses of medicine, and the combination of choices steers which of 23 forms it grows into. Once mature, the Angel battles the Evas piloted by Shinji, Rei, and Asuka.

Story / Setting
