Gadget Trial is a Japanese PC game for Windows operating systems, which combines turn-based strategy gaming with visual novel elements, using the common anime style of artwork for its character designs. It was developed by KOGADO Studio's Kuma-san Team , and was released in Japan on June 23, 2006. The game is commercially distributed for 8800 yen. Its original language is Japanese, and there are no official translations; however, an unofficial, fan-made English translation patch is freely available on the Internet, both for the demo and the full versions of the game. Gadget Trial takes place... in the future, decades after an unidentified world war, and focuses on the so-called E-Series. This is a new generation of military equipment, representing a very advanced level of technology, developed by an organisation called Eastern Treaty Union under the codename Project 'Next E'. The E-Series units are human-like cyborgs or "bio-machines", constructed from various organic bio-alloys, and they are capable of regeneration and reproduction, similar to bacteria.
