This patch fixes the bug where the game would try to relaunch itself as Black Closet if run from the local install directory. On Windows, this fully fixes the bug, so you can now start from the exe; on Mac and Linux, you still need to start the game from your library. (This will be fixed in a future version)

Great game idea heavily impacted by very poor (IMO) execution and programming. First the good; I love the characters, and the story premise, while completely trope, is entertaining. Now for the load of bad; The game itself runs on the Steam Deck, but tries its best to fight it. Won't recognize the controller parts, so you have to either play it solely as a touchpad mouse game, or design your own controller...

The school has been invaded by alien monsters, and it is up to six heroines to save the day. With the power of science, of course! Science Girls is a classic turn-based RPG, where you explore the map, fight the enemies and gradually uncover what is going on. It also features extensive dialogues that often let you pick protagonist’s response. And not only the girls have distinct personalities, each of them...

It legitimately hurts to give something from Hanako Games a bad review, and I enjoyed parts of it despite its many faults, but I can't recommend most people play this pile of jank. If it had ended on the first new map after the school, would've recommended glowingly. If it had ended before the miserable wormhole garbage, or even right AFTER, I might've recommended it if you liked charming but flawed indie jrpg's like...

Overall I would say that Science Girls is a pretty good game. In Science Girls you play as the president of the Science Club at a private, all girls school, and the school is being attack by aliens that look like plants but are not plants. Not soon after you make this discovery you go out and find the 5 other members of the club, each of them specialized in a specific field of Science/Technology, and all their...

I kind of have a soft spot for underdog games so this one drew my attention. The characters are fun but the further you go the more leveling your characters seems to punish you by greatly increasing point requirements for performing actions while doing nothing to accelerate recovery of said points or providing much in the way of recovery items. The gameplay responsiveness is unreasonably crunchy, and shortly into the...

I was really enjoying Science Girls. It has a great turn based battle system; a good variety of skills the girls can upgrade to; and until the end was a well balanced game. I say until the end because the final boss fight was far and away vastly more difficult than anything you encounter before it which throws the difficulty curve into the shredder. You lose whoever your most powerful girl is right off the bat and it...

Short game, with a quirky plot that doesn't bother to take itself seriously. If you're into psuedo rpg/visual novel/japanese school girl uniforms, you'll probaby enjoy it. Instead of classes, you have majors of study, which was nice take, credit where credit's due. I'm on the fence with this one; the game feels... unfinished, certain elements of the game feel unbalanced: Heather is practically your designated...

Okay, wow. So a little while ago my profile stated I would review games for people if they asked me, under the condition that the game was in my library. This review is the reason I had that removed. "Here's Science Girls, have fun reviewing it ♥♥♥♥♥♥" happened and now I'm not that willing to spend so much time on reviews anymore unless something can be bargained. Regardless, I'm a man of my word and I do have...

Science Girls is a cute but short game about a girls science club whose school gets attacked by plant-like aliens. The story is at times funny, imformative and also a little slice of life. Well, as slice of life as one can expect when there are aliens involved. I would have liked a bit more of a solid storyline regarding all the science involved but on the stuff it does touch on, I can't complain. It plays like your...

A little buggy (crashed on a boss fight - seems to be fixed now). The voice acting could be better (ears hurt, so turned off calling out attacks). Some of the battle tracks get repetitive (normally to be expected, but two or three of them become repetitive almost immediately after you hear them the first time). The controls are a little rough (lagged response & hard to tell which choice is selected when using...
