- Product Summary
STEINS;GATE is the second collaborative work between 5pb and Nitroplus with a science-fiction/adventure theme.
Released on October 2009 for the Xbox 360, it won the highest Famitsu Award (Japanese video game magazine).
Later, the game was released for the PC & PSP, along with additional merchandise such as spin-off video games, character songs and drama CDs. The series has sold more than 100,000 copies.
An anime adaptation began airing on April 2011, and it is becoming increasingly popular.
The story found in STEINS;GATE is not your usual time traveling fare, but is a "hypothetical science adventure" focused on the structure of time travel itself.
Many of the situations and scientific concepts referred to in the game have been plucked from real science; the story-line is therefore credible and intellectual stimulating for players.

### 5/5 — Modern iPhones Work Now

*2023-12-15*

I had previously refunded because the game did not display correctly in iPhone 14, but I now saw that it has been updated so I repurchased. There’s still the system clock in the corner but it’s not super annoying. If they got rid of the system clock and fixed some crashes this would be a perfect port.

### 5/5 — Masterpiece of a visual novel

*2021-06-06, version 1.05*

Coming from the anime I thought this series couldn't get any more amazing well I was wrong the visual novel does more for the characters and story trust me this will be a wild ride that by the end you will be satisfied enjoy

### 1/5 — Can’t see contacts or email

*2019-12-15, version 1.03*

The contact and email lists on the in-game phone look blank. You can blindly tap around to find them, but that makes the game hard if not impossible to play. At least on a XS Max

### 5/5 — Astonishing

*2019-10-12*

Truly brilliant. There is very little in the way of interactivity, so you need to go in expecting to read a story that occasionally prompts you for input, rather than a full-blown “choose your own adventure” game or a point and click adventure. This is a much more passive experience than that.

But it’s one of the best time-travel stories ever told, and it’s told so well. This game was turned into a highly regarded anime series as well. The price might seem high, but It’s massive and wonderful. Google reviews of the PC/ Console version to see just now highly regarded tnis Is.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-09-22*

Menu no longer works properly on iOS 13, please update  😄

### 1/5 — Love this game but not supported for iOS 13

*2019-09-20, version 1.02*

I have really been enjoying this game, however, once the iOS 13 update happened you can no longer use the menu. It kinda breaks the game and makes it so you can’t save or check anything. I would give it 5 stars all the way but unfortunately it is unplayable now :/

### 5/5 — My New Favorite VN

*2019-05-25, version 1.02*

Sure the iOS version has some trivial bugs but besides that it’s perfect! The game itself has the best story of any form of entertainment I’ve seen, able to bring someone with a stone heart like me to tears. If you have the money, don’t hesitate to buy!!!

### 5/5 — Love the details

*2019-04-11*

There are a lot of extra details to the story you don’t get in the anime the makes the world of steins gate a much more entertaining story also I believe it’s worth a dollar for every hour of gameplay (30 hours) and another dollars for each flag bringing you to the true ending (6)

### 5/5 — Amazing visual novel!

*2018-09-21*

!!!!!!

### 5/5 — iphone to ipad

*2018-08-14, version 1.02*

Is it possible to obtain the ipad version without repaying? Recently got an ipad and hadn’t yet had the chance to play this vn after purchasing.
