In Secret of Evangelion

take on the role of a NERV operative named Kyoya who wears
shades at all times. Early in the game, it's
established that Kyoya is an old school chum of both
Misato and Ritsuku and the two women are comfortable
with him. Misato expresses some reservations about
Kyoya's assignment but brushes it off. Throughout
the adventure, Kyoya will come into contact with
Shinji, Rei, and Asuka and his goal is to raise
their level of trust in him so that information
about the inner workings of NERV can be gleaned.
Exclusive features in the PSP version are as
follows:
» New in-game scenes which are interspersed within
the storyline
» A new Evangelion Quiz Game which offers three
levels of difficulty for beginners, average EVA

workings of NERV, the characters, and plot points.
Fifty questions are collected in the database and
each quiz session contains 10 randomly selected questions.

Notes
»» The title screen features the following
selections:
NEW GAME........... Begin a new adventure
in Main Game or learn a bit in Tutorial
CONTINUE............ Resume a game from
memory stick duo
OPTION................ Set message speed
and adjust volumes for SE, BGM, and VOICE
EXTRA MODE........ Three subsections:
Scenario Chart, Event Graphic, and Quiz
»» The volume is pretty low in this game so we set
all volume levels to MAX.
»» If you select the Tutorial Mode under
the NEW GAME option, Gendou uses spoken dialogue
along with highlighted text to guide you through
the play mechanics of the game. He also teaches
the player the different screen options that are
available.
»» The Scenario Chart sub-option lists the
hexagonal layout of all 36 scenarios in the
adventure.
»» The Event Graphic sub-option features 21
pages of graphics taken from the game. Each page
contains 9 images except for the last page which
only houses 8 images for a total of 188 total
scenes.
»» The Quiz game allows the choice of
playing as either Asuka or Rei and features
multiple choice questions. When the question
appears, select the correct answer by highlighting
one of the three answer selections and press the
"O" button. You are allowed 5 seconds to answer
each question. There's one question which asks you
to choose the correct spelling for the word,
"Children" and another which asks you to select
the correct spelling for "Second Impact." There's
a math question in there as well. The rest of the
questions are entirely in Japanese. Every
time you answer correctly, Asuka will smile. If
you botch the answers, she'll look remorseful. Rei
on the other hand doesn't change her expression if
you answer correctly or incorrectly.
»» The game is broken up into chapters and the
year is 2015 when Sachiel attacks and Shinji is
sent to face it in the EVA-01. After defeating it,
the game proper begins inside NERV headquarters
where Gendou Ikari, Ryoji Kagi, and Deputy
Commander Kozo Fuyutsuki are talking and plotting.
The scene changes to one of a Stealth-shaped
airship flying underneath a full moon. Inside, a
guy with sunglasses named Kyoya is looking inside
a suitcase. After the introduction, a red splash
screen with the End of Evangelion logo appears
followed by the main game screen. Text which reads
"Chapter: 01" appears on the upper left and next
to it is "Check Route: Gundlegend." Below it is a
collection of hexagon grids that are connected to
each other. Below that is three gauges for "00 Rei,"
"01 Shinji," and "02 Asuka." To access the system
menu, press the START button and you'll be
presented with options to save your progress to
memory card (19 slots available), restore a game
from memory card, adjust game settings, and exit
from the game.
»» The hexagons for each scenario represent
individual scenes that play out one after the
other. The first one plays automatically after
pressing the CIRCLE button. In the scene, Gendou
and Kyoya, the guy in the plane from earlier have
a conversation. In the Playstation 2 version of
Secret of Evangelion, Gendou spoke his dialogue
but his voice has been removed in the PSP version.
In the PS2 original, Kyoya didn't have spoken
dialogue and that's the same in the PSP version.
The only spoken dialogue in the game is a
narration that occasionally plays during certain
scenarios and bits of dialogue spoken during some
interaction sequences. Once the first hexagon
episode is finished, the main screen appears again
and the hexagon that was just played is now
colored green to indicate that you've already
watched it and/or interacted within it. In the
next sequence, Kyoya goes to see Ritsuko and again
her spoken dialogue has been removed from the PSP
version. After meeting with Ritsuko, Kyoya exits
and calls up Porter on his mobile.
»» There's an option to exit NERV headquarters and
walk the streets of Tokyo-3. If you select this
option, Kyoya will run into Shinji, Tohji, and
Kensuke on the street where they have a spirited
conversation. After this encounter, Shinji's
affinity towards Kyoya will increase by three
bars. In a subsequent outside interaction
sequence, Kyoya encounters the boys again but
Hikari and Asuka join them and add some drama.
Afterwards, Shinji's affinity towards Kyoya
increases by 3 more bars and Asuka adds 3 bars to
her affinity gauge.
»» Proceed to the next hexagon and Misato greets
Kyoya. After their talk, Kozo Fuyutsuki calls
Kyoya. In the subsequent hexagon, Kyoya goes to
see Fuyutsuki but bumps into Kagi who is leaving.
Afterwards, Kyoya talks to Fuyutsuki. Upon leaving
the office, Kyoya calls Porter again. Instead of
following the path of the hexagons directly, Kyoya
can diverge from the route and visit various
offices. In one of the offices, he'll be
confronted by a fellow agent named Hawk who also
wears shades indoors. At the end of the first
scenario, Kyoya will bump into a NERV engineer
named Hitomi who has a doctorate in Biology. She's
working on the Evangelion program and is part of
the group that developed the dummy plug system.
After the first scenario, you'll be able to save
your progress to memory stick.
»» To review the script at any time, press the R2
trigger and flip back to the beginning or any
point that has passed already.
»»
The approximate timeline that the game takes place
in the Evangelion television series is between
episode 17 and episode 24.
»»
There are 10 different endings that can be routed
out by playing the game in different ways and
making various decisions to diverge from any
previously worn pathway.
