Ah, ahora entiendo porque decian que esta VN fue una de las inspiraciones de Steins;Gate.

Spoiler:

A ver si entendi bien hasta ahora: el dispositivo permite salvar en un punto determinado, hacer algo, regresar a ese punto y probar de nuevo, efectivamente creando dos realidades paralelas? Parece que en el juego cada salto requeria una gema, mientras en el anime lo hicieron mas facil.

Alguien menciono que

Basically, the way the Reflector device works is he saves the state on the timeline and then can return back to it, each slot is one save point so his options are limited by the number of gems. Also, what his father was trying to tell him is that the time flows as a river, meaning even if he seemingly goes back in time, he's is still going forward in history.
(A He saves the world state) ---> (B He throws a can)---> (C He resets the worldstate back to A)

Meaning that although C is seemingly same as A it's actually down the worldline. Chaos theory applies too. This is probably the main fundamental difference from every other time-travelling story - cause he isn't actually going back, he only creates the possibility where everything is as it was before - but the time itself (and he too) moves forward so the cause and effect rule still applies. Also, every item he has goes with him as shown with the can (this is crucial to further story). Anyway, if you want to read about Reflector device in more detail, there is actually whole text he was holding in his hands here:
