Is it still worth playing?
A 2009 visual novel, the second game in the Science Adventure series, first released for the Xbox 360 in Japan by Nitroplus and 5pb. It is set in Akihabara in the summer of 2010, and you follow Rintaro Okabe, an 18 year old university student, through a time travel story that covers one summer break. Most of the time goes on reading text on screen, and the choices come through the phone: you answer or ignore calls and reply to texts with blue underlined words that work like links. Those choices lead to several endings, and one of them is the true ending. The team's idea was 99% science and 1% fantasy. The writing and the cast keep it worth reading now: the story is detailed, and the voice acting carries the emotion even if you do not know Japanese.
