The game follows a rag-tag band of tech-savvy young students who discover the means of changing the past via e-mail using a modified microwave. Their experiments in pushing the boundaries of time begin to spiral out of control as they become entangled in a conspiracy surrounding SERN, the organization behind the Large Hadron Collider, and John Titor, who claims to be from a dystopian future.
In 2009, 5pb. and Nitroplus created the award-winning science-fiction, interactive visual novel known as Steins;Gate. Since then, the series has spawned a manga, drama CDs, a movie, a live action stage play, and an anime, including an upcoming anime STEINS;GATE 0, and is loved by fans worldwide.
An HD remake of Steins;Gate Phenogram, a collection of 10 additional stories written by renowned writers including the Zero Escape series scenario writer, Mr. Kotaro Uchikoshi, will be available for the PS4 version. For the Nintendo Switch version, STEINS;GATE 8-bit, a special 8-bit graphics and chiptune version of the game developed by series creator Mr. Chiyomaru Shikura, will be available.
