The player assumes control of Shinji Ikari, the protagonist and main character of the normal Neon Genesis Evangelion series, and schedules his daily life to prepare for battles with Angels and other major plot points.

What Shinji does influences his parameters (for example, taking Battle Training will increase his ability in Eva battles).

On these Sundays, Shinji and Misato can also take part in extra activities, such as shopping for items which have various effects on Shinjis parameters, or going to work at NERV, which unlocks new Eva equipment.

Battle controls are menu-driven and the outcome is determined by a combination of different parameters.

At various points in the game, Shinji will also be asked to make dialogue choices which can influence events and conversations that follow.

Each route goes for a different amount of episodes, which can last between two and eight weeks of in-game time and focus on a specific segment of the story.

Which route the player ends up on is primarily determined by the hidden Independence parameter.

The Thanatos routes dialogue box has a dark grey border with the words Neon Genesis Evangelion embedded above the character portrait.

The Pathos routes dialogue box is a lighter grey with two green stripes on either side of the character portrait.

The Campus routes dialogue box is purple with a gold trim around the edges.

After episode 21, the player is locked into the route theyre on, except in the case of Campus which allows the player to decide between it and the Pathos route on episode 24.

The first seven episodes of this route are compulsory in every playthrough.

Like the original series, this route sees main character, Shinji, summoned to NERV by his estranged father, Gendo Ikari, and tasked with piloting an Evangelion unit.

He and the other pilots, Rei Ayanami and later, Asuka Langley Soryu, must fight alien-like beings called Angels in order to prevent the Third Impact from occurring.

It adapts up to a brief version of Episode 26, and culminates in an ending featuring the red sea from the end of said episode.

This route sees Shinji and the other characters doing a number of recreational activites to progress in the story, such as selling ice-cream, camping and synchronized swimming.

This route also sees both Toji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida becoming Eva pilots.

It culminates in the Third Impact being prevented, as well as a number of additional, optional endings determined by the players stats.

The Campus route is what inspired the manga of the same name.

This route sees Shinji attending class in a universe with no Evas or Angels, living a normal life as a teenage boy, where the staff at NERV are now his teachers and the original Evangelion series is a fictional work written by he and Kaworu Nagisa in class.
