What is Steins;Gate?

First released in Japan on July 28, 2009, Steins;Gate is the second entry in the Science Adventure series, set between Chaos;Head Noah and Robotics;Notes. The game follows eccentric scientist Rintarou Okabe, who discovers a way to send messages to the past using a modified microwave. What begins as lighthearted experimentation soon spirals into a high-stakes race through time, involving secret organizations like SERN and multiple timelines—known as worldlines—that twist reality as we know it.

With the help of Kurisu Makise, a brilliant young neuroscientist, and Daru, his tech-savvy best friend, Okabe must navigate complex emotional choices and ethical dilemmas to protect the people he loves, or risk losing everything in the process.

Whether you’re a returning fan or brand new to the world of mad scientists and worldline shifts, this is the perfect opportunity to dive deep into the timelines.

The Steins;Gate Day Steam Sale will last until August 3, 2025, so be sure to check it out now.
