A few of these crashes can be avoided by downloading an updated scr_qc.pak file, but some, I'm guessing the less common ones, don't have a fix, and the only thing I've found that works is to load a previous save in the Japanese version of the game, and to save slightly past the crash.
I only got a crash halfway through the
Phorni route, which can be fixed via the patch on the TLwiki site. The English patch has made the VN very buggy however, so it ain't too surprising. Anyone who wants to play SR should probably get that patch before playing it, it can be found
here under the "Announcements" section.

Yeah, you are definitely thinking of another one. As Flutterz pointed out there are both choices and some gameplay so it is a bit more interactive than your average VN. Gameplay was rather fun too.
