Robotics;Notes Double Pack

Numskull Games have shared some details and the list of key features for Robotics;Notes Double Pack (which will cost 59.99€ / £49.99 in Europe):

In ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE, play as Kaito Yashio, one of the last two members of Central Tanegashima High’s Robot Research Club. He kicks back and relaxes as his counterpart, the reckless club leader Akiho Senomiya, strives to complete their giant robot in order to keep the club from being disbanded. But Kaito’s days of relaxation end with the discovery of the mysterious Kimijima Report. It contains instructions involving locations all across the island—and warns of a conspiracy targeting the entire world.

In ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH, the island of Tanegashima is preparing for the Summer Festival. Through Nae Tennouji, an acquaintance from JAXA, Kaito Yashio is introduced to Itaru Hashida from the STEINS;GATE series. Itaru claims to be taking a tour of the island, but as time goes on, he starts acting rather strangely… Meanwhile, unsettling incidents begin to occur all around them; harbingers of an event that will again plunge the world into chaos.

• Two New Games, Two New Adventures! – Join the Robot Club and explore the island of Tanegashima. Featuring over 60 hours of gameplay between ROBOTICS:NOTES ELITE and ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH.
• Unlock the Secrets Hidden on Tanegashima – Both games feature intricate, branching storylines. Unlock them all to see the full story of the Robot Club’s adventures.
• Continue the Science Adventure Series – The wait is over: for the first time, both ROBOTICS;NOTES titles will be available in the West!
• Japanese Audio – Features English text and Japanese audio for the authentic experience!
