History VideoGame / ScienceGirls

A UsefulNotes/RenPy-based indie bishoujo RPG (with a few VisualNovel elements) by Spiky Caterpillar and Creator/HanakoGames.

* ControlRoomPuzzle: When [[spoiler:falling into a pit]], 5 [[spoiler:Slirrup tongues]] must be pulled or left unpulled to bring down the wall blocking the exit.

* ChromosomeCasting: The titular science girls are the protagonists and are the only people who matter to the plot. Every male shown is a teacher and just used to establish the setting; only one even has any dialogue, and it's just for one short scene. It's a {{Justified|Trope}} because it's a girls' school.\

* CombatExclusiveHealing: Jennifer's First Aid ability can only be used in combat. Healing items may be used in the menu.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: You can restore Health and [[{{Mana}} SP]] with the food items available.

* RandomlyDrops: Played with, it gives the appearance of such, like a Doughnut or a Pizza Slice, at least on Elementary Difficulty, being given right after the fourth floor Greater Slirrup battle, but that's a one time event, more due to entering the fourth floor than defeating a Greater Slurrip.

** Slurrips: Slurrip, Greater Slurrip (is bigger), Spitting Slurrip, unfought Giant Slurrips.

** The "Hypnosis" attack, which just puts enemies into a ForcedSleep, taking away their turn.

* GameGourmet: There are about fifteen different food items that you can have by the end, each with its own FlavorText, although most are provided in low quantities and are likely quickly consumed, so players might not see them all. For fruits and vegetables, there are a banana, a handful of kumquats (counted as one item), a pomelo (that heals the group, and is mistaken for an alien fruit at first), five mandarins, three oranges, two lemons, and one bell pepper. For drinks, there are three milkshakes and a soda[[note]]Diet soda is found in a pack of twelve, but used as a throwable weapon, as its lack of nutrition makes it worthless as a healing item.[[/note]]. For sweets, there are around 17 doughnuts scattered around the game, but the {{cap}} is 13 to be held at any one time. There is also a bundle of cotton candy. And finally, a pizza slice and a whole pizza.
** In an interesting twist, characters have different tastes; certain items are *much* more effective in replenishing stats than others on some characters, simply because they like that kind of food. This is most useful for [[SquishyMage Andrea]], since the food she favors is Doughnuts, and they're the most common items in the game; getting all of them ''does'' require the party to go into the adjoining school and fight a miniboss, but it basically sets up Andrea to use her skills willy-nilly for the rest of the game.

* ExcitedShowTitle: The game's title. Presumably it's supposed to be said enthusiastically, given how all the girls in the game are the protagonists, and their abilities revolve around science. It almost comes off as a team name shout.

* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: [[spoiler:Averted when the two Missys meet up in the wormhole. We never find out if the second Missy is from a different part of time or another universe or whatnot, though.]]
