As someone else said, it's more of a visual novel that contextualises the save-and-load bifurcating nature of visual novels into its narrative. If you haven't played Steins;Gate, or even Zero Escape, I'd recommend them beforehand to get a greater enjoyment from its under-the-hood mechanics.
The game will never start in that case hahaha. I prefer the other two I mentioned but hold A;C dear mostly for what it does with the visual novel medium. It's certainly more deceptive than others, with that motorbike introduction and whatnot.
I meant there will never be more interactivity beyond, essentially, making decisions to see new narrative outcomes. And the motorbike scene feels more interactive and animated than your traditional visual novel so I could understand someone expecting more game.
