I would personally recommend Newton and the Apple Tree to visual novel fans who enjoy games with a focus on story, but don’t mind the odd lewd joke or more depending on their version. I personally felt like it overdid it at times, but not to an extreme. The cast of characters is quite interesting, as is the story. It has wonderful art too.

There are so many more wonderful things I would love to talk about in Newton and the Apple Tree, but without getting into spoiler territory I really can’t. This is one of the best visual novels I’ve read in a long time. Its fantastic story is both humorous and emotional, and will have you questioning what you would’ve done in Syuji’s shoes well after...
Newton and the Apple Tree is a solid visual novel, one with an interesting story, an excellent common route, and an incredibly handy settings menu. It does have its share of problems, mainly with its pacing later in the game and lack of font configuration, but it is still definitely worth the recommendation.
