Adopting the persona of a mad scientist, he spends his time developing oddball gadgets with his friends in their makeshift laboratory.
One day, they accidentally discover that one of their inventions can send emails into the past. In other words, they have created a time machine.
A secret global conspiracy develops behind the scenes in the meantime and a chaotic future begins to unfold.
SERN, John Titor, the IBN 5100, the Butterfly Effect, and the 11 theories of time travel - when chance brings these elements together in Akihabara, Japan, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
What will Okarin choose when he holds the future in his hands?
The world of Steins;Gate returns, completely transformed nine years after its initial release, in a fully animated version.
This seamless blend of visual mediums offers an ever more immersive experience!

Absolutely yes! It's the game thanks to which this series has become famous and one of the best ever Visual Novels, with an outstanding stand-alone story.
I read about the existence of Steins;Gate 0 visual novel. Since in the title there is a 0, is it a prequel and should I play it before Elite?
Absolutely not! You MUST play Steins;Gate 0 AFTER Elite or the original Steins;Gate visual novel, because otherwise it would spoil you about important parts of its ending!
What are the differences with the original Steins;Gate game?
The main difference is that, for Elite version, the art is directly taken by the anime and WHITE FOX also animated new scenes belonging to the alternative endings. However some parts of these alternative endings aren't present in the Elite version, for example the most notable one is:
the absence of 4C, Faris rival
If I buy the Steam version, which bonus content I get?
You get the Linear Bounded Phenogram novel.
Can I buy one of the two bonus contents without the Steins;Gate Elite game?
Unfortunately not, the bonus contents are available only buying Steins;Gate Elite.
If I buy the physical Switch/PS4 copy, is the content present on that copy?
Inside the physical box there is a voucher with a code which you can use to redeem the bonus content digitally on the Nintendo eShop or PlayStation Store.
Is it better or worse than the original Visual Novel?
In my opinion, it is a different version. It has flaws and values. For someone, the original art can be superior that the anime art, for other it can be the contrary; art however is just an element of difference. I suggest you to watch some videos and to read some of the reviews to have a better idea of what a "fully animated" visual novel is.
Does it have English VO?
No, it has only Japanese VO.
How long are the bonus contents?
8-BIT ADV STEINS;GATE is around 6 hours, while Linear Bounded Phenogram is around 20-30 hours.
Is it possible tu turn the original art on?
No, in Steins;Gate Elite only the anime art is included.
Other FAQs could be added in future.
I thank you to have read my first OT, I will appreciate any suggestion to improve it and my future ones!
And to end...
