Neon Genesis Evangelion if

Neon Genesis Evangelion if is a Japanese third-person shooter video game developed by and published by both Sega and  for Sega's Sega Orion on October 11, 2020. The game is an installment of the Evangelion franchise and loosely follows the plot of the anime.

As the name implies, the game is a "what-if" scenario and, due to this, has several changes in the story. The game is split into chapters and is told from the perspective of three characters: Shinji Ikari, Asuka Soryu, and Rei Ayanami, each of which has a few chapters dedicated to them.

Playable

 * Shinji Ikari (voiced by Casey Mongillo) - one of the three protagonists of the game. Shinji is referred to as the Third Child and is the pilot of Eva Unit 01. He doesn't enjoy being an Eva pilot and is borderline depressed due to the things his father makes him do.
 * Rei Ayanami (voiced by Ryan Bartley) - one of the three protagonists of the game. Rei is referred to as the First Child and is the pilot of Eva Unit 00. She is borderline emotionless for a good chunk of the game and has an odd, father/daughter-like relationship with Gendo.
 * Asuka Langley Soryu (voiced by Stephanie McKeon) - one of the three protagonists of the game. She is referred to as the Second Child and is the pilot of Eva Unit 02. She is aggressive towards the people around her and both loves and hates Shinji.
