The city of afforestation, Kazamatsuri.
In this city built upon the ideal coexistence of civilization and the environment, Tennouji Kotarou spends his days with his friends, Kanbe Kotori and Yoshino Haruhiko. In this peaceful city, a tumultuous event shakes the foundations of Kazamatsuri once a year.
The Harvest Festival. Within this immense scale event, Kotarou collects all sorts of information. There are always rumors about unidentified creatures and the occult.
At the same time, mysterious happenings keep befalling Kotarou. He takes up the offer to help Senri Akane, the club president of the Occult Research Society and begins an investigation that will end up involving his fellow classmates.
To Kotarou, this created a lively and adventurous feel. To be able to spend time with this energetic and boisterous group was just right for him.
But there’s something Kotarou doesn’t know.
He has yet to learn that his adventure is connected to a journey towards the “truth” that no one else has discovered.
-Is it possible to rewrite fate? Her fate?-

Also curious if admin is back to uploading all age games here
The admin doesn't upload all the all age games here, but he/she does upload some from time to time. I don't know his/her standards for uploading these though. If you see a "no sexual content" tag, or can't find any nsfw screenshot and tag, it most likely doesn't have sexual content.
TL;DR: Most likely no sexual content. Could have some version with sexual content later, but this one probably doesn't have it. Admin still uploads some all ages games from time to time, no idea what his/her standards for choosing what to upload is.
This review on the steam page sums it up very well:
"This version of Rewrite is an insult to its source.
I love Rewrite. It's a story that changed me and my life in many ways, that will forever stick with me. Kagari is and has been my waifu for six years now. But this version of it is an insulting joke in about every way. Unlike most reviews right now, this is a review of this version of Rewrite, and not of the original game.
First off, ignoring all bugs, the translation quality is subpar. A lot of important plot points are missed and ignored, jokes and quips are lost in translation, and any deeper meaning is hard to find at all. Especially the Moon route loses a lot of its shine by having a lot of its smaller details completely lost. But, the translation isn't the only problem, far from it.
Starting up the game, you are almost immediately greeted by untranslated text, broken buttons and other jank.
Half of the names in the game aren't translated (just showing up in Japanese).
Text constantly goes out of its borders, and the font is hard to read.
Major plot points are untranslated (as in, the last paragraph to Lucia route is completely untranslated).
My waifu's name (Kagari) is often typoed to Kagami. (rude)
Actually, there's just a lot of typoes, grammatical errors etc. in general. A lot of important quotes are ruined due to this, too.
The game crashes and errors constantly. UI assets look like they have been edited with MSPaint.
Buttons are available that shouldn't be. Character names are scrambled in the menus.
The UI has a random button removed, which creates a hole in the UI. Random code appears in the script.
The title bar is only translated sometimes.
The openings, endings, credits and other videos are not translated (and barely work).
Talking about credits, the added credits by Sekai look miserable (again, made in MSPaint), only show up in two of the seven routes, don't have any music, and break the preceding official credits. The names aren't even aligned properly.
Save data is not saved properly; steam cloud won't work, update deleted my 100% save already
That aside, Rewrite+ in general (even its original Japanese release) is a downgrade from the original. Its story has been simplified, making changes which most people do not agree with (changes that either cause confusion, or worse, simplify the ending too much). It's comparable to the types of changes made to Terminator 2's ending.
For some background: this game was crowdfunded on Kickstarter. It got $200K in funding. The kicker? There is already a fan translation by Amaterasu, which was developed on a $0 budget (they don't even take donations!), that is FAR higher quality than this one (it's actually translated, for one).
The general business practices around this game's release have been shady, as well. Many delays just kind of happened, as no updates were sent out from Sekai even after the project was funded. The "monthly updates" promise was not upheld. On the LAST DAY, suddenly changes were announced, and the only response from Sekai was to suck it up or get a refund. Other promises, like that the game would launch alongside its fandisc "Harvest Festa", were silently backed up on as well.
I'm the kind of person to tend to stay positive. Similarly to the Rewrite anime (don't watch it, by the way), even when others were already worried upon seeing the publisher, I stayed hopeful. Once again, my hopes have been shattered. I don't want to even imagine how many people will have their first (and likely only) experience with this fantastic novel ruined by this sheer and utter lack of competence. Just holding CTRL to skip through the game to see if it doesn't crash would already be enough to see that this game needed more time in the oven....although, at this point... it'll need a rewrite."
So please, get the Fan Translation version by Amaterasu.
