Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji Ikari Raising Project (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン 碇シンジ育成計画, Shin Seiki Evangerion: Ikari Shinji Ikusei Keikaku) is a computer game based on the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. The player assumes control of Shinji Ikari, the protagonist and main character of the normal Neon Genesis Evangelion series, in the expanded alternate universe that was glimpsed upon for a few moments in the TV episode 26. Basically, the player decides Shinji's fate in how he lives his life. The story begins with the attack of the 3rd Angel, much like the anime. Different decisions and actions lead to various outcomes etc.

Play proceeds in three major ways: The weekly schedule, battle, and dialogue choices. The player chooses Shinji's schedule for each week (each day having two event slots); what Shinji does influences his statistics (for example, taking synch tests improves his ability in an Eva). On Sundays, Shinji can take part in extra activities such as shopping for items which have various effects or NERV work which unlocks new Eva equipment. Battle controls are menu-driven and the outcome is determined partly by statistics and partly by luck. At various points Shinji will be asked to make choices during dialogue which can have far-reaching influence on the story.

Both the game and manga introduce three new female Nerv technicians: Kaede Agano (阿賀野 カエデ, Agano Kaede)[1] (voiced by Ai Shimizu), Satsuki Ooi (大井 サツキ, Ōi Satsuki)[2] (voiced by Maria Yamamoto), and Aoi Mogami (最上 アオイ, Mogami Aoi)[3] (voiced by Yui Horie).

Stats

During the game you may raise Shinji's stats which influence the ending and gameplay, these include:

A manga serial under the same name, drawn by Takahashi Osamu (高橋脩), has been released in Japan. It has eighteen volumes and is published by Kadokawa. It was serialized in Shōnen Ace, the same publication as the manga version by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. Takahashi officially announced that the manga would come to an end in February 2016 (after planning to end it in summer 2015), and that an eighteenth volume would be the final volume produced.

The manga diverges from the original Neon Genesis Evangelion and shares several plot divergences with Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days.
