EVE Burst Error is a 1995 visual novel adventure game developed by C's Ware [ja], originally released as an erotic game. It was written and produced by Hiroyuki Kanno, with chiptune video game music composed by Ryu Umemoto.

The game features a branching narrative where two different protagonists, one male and one female, provide different perspectives on the story. The game introduced a unique twist to the system by allowing the player to switch between both protagonists at any time during the game, instead of finishing one protagonist's scenario before playing the other. EVE Burst Error often requires the player to have both protagonists co-operate with each other at various points during the game.^[1]

The game spawned multiple sequels, among them EVE: The Lost One (written by Kazuki Sakuraba), EVE: New Generation (written by Kotaro Uchikoshi) and EVE Rebirth Terror (written by Kasa Sakaki, scenario writer for Tsuyokiss).^[2] A remake titled EVE Burst Error R with upgraded graphics was released in Japan by Red Flagship's label El-Dia^[3] on April 28, 2016 for Windows^[4] and on October 25, 2018 on Nintendo Switch.^[5]
