About this game
STEINS;GATE ELITE follows Okabe Rintaro and the Future Gadget Laboratory in Akihabara. Their modified microwave unexpectedly becomes a way to send messages into the past. You follow the unfolding story and make choices that lead into different branches and animated endings, placing the direction of the narrative at the centre of play. ELITE gives this visual novel an animated presentation using material from the television series. WHITE FOX also created scenes the series did not depict, including material for character routes. Progress therefore means following the consequences of decisions through the story, while the edition's defining change is how those events are shown.
Collected in series
Steins;Gate follows Rintaro Okabe and his friends as experiments with messages to the past turn everyday life into a time-travel mystery. These visual novels explore the consequences of changing events, while side stories give the cast room for lighter relationships and comedy.
Science Adventure is a family of visual novels where speculative science turns everyday life into suspense. Read conversations, follow clues and influence the story through each game's devices, from imagined scenarios to phone messages. Ordinary friendships become entangled with mysteries much larger than the characters expect.
