Steins;Gate 0 is the fifth game in Science Adventure series, and an interquel to Steins;Gate. This title was initially released in 2015 for Japanese audiences.

This story details the future of the Okabe who refused to go back in time and try to save Kurisu again. The game is directly related to Steins;Gate, because it explains the events that made the true ending of the original story possible.

Steins;Gate 0 employs the perspectives of a few of the characters, including Okabe, Suzuha, and a new character, Maho Hiyajo.

After meeting Maho and her professor, Alexis Leskinen, Okabe is invited to become a tester for an artificial intelligence system called “Amadeus.” Amadeus was developed by the late Kurisu Makise, and contains all of her memories prior to meeting Okabe for the first time.

Okabe’s struggles are not over yet, as the impending World War III continues to cause many worldline shenanigans. It seems that Okabe will have to rise up once again in order to restore peace to his world.

Where to buy

The Steins;Gate 0 visual novel is available worldwide in English on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch and on PC as well through Steam. A complete playthrough guide for the game can be found here.

We recommend playing the game on Steam with this fan improvement patch for the best possible experience.

The Steins;Gate 0 anime adaptation is available legally through various streaming services. While the adaptation was done well overall, we recommend reading the visual novel prior to viewing the anime.

If you find yourself in a situation where you’ve seen the anime prior to reading the visual novel, we recommend experiencing the visual novel at some point—it fills the reader in on quite a few details that were touched upon but never expanded on in the anime.
