- 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 — Great Game, amazing story!

*2015-11-28, version 1.61*

WARNING: this version is Japanese ONLY (as of writing this) but an English version for iOS is coming "soon".

The game which spawned ports to many platforms (Xbox 360 was the original), a tv series, movie, 8-bit version and now prequel and sequel games. If you haven't played it yet  give any of the English releases a try, you won't be sorry!

### 1/5 — No English Subs

*2013-04-01, version 1.52*

A warning would have been nice.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-10-23, version 1.41*

Please add Chinese language support. Just like MO6. I will purchase one more to support you. I am a super fan of kid and N plus. I also want to play ever series and phantom on the IOS. By the way,  
Can you provide iPad version of 11eyes or MO.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2011-11-23, version 1.1*

Thanks for providing high-quality visual novels on iOS for those of us who do read Japanese! Steins;Gate continues the brilliant storytelling and characterization in Chaos;Head.

### 5/5 — Japanese Only

*2011-09-01, version 1.0*

Chaos Head が結構面白かったので楽しみにしていましたが、評判通り非常に面白かったです。
今回の主人公は所謂「邪気眼」持ちというんでしょうか、自称「機関に狙われるマッドサイエンティスト」な大学生ですが、リーダーシップがあり本当は優しい、好感の持てるキャラです。
カテゴリーとしてはギャルゲーになるかもしれませんが、恋愛描写はほとんど無くSFアドベンチャーとしての要素が強いです。
２ちゃんねる用語がそこかしこに出てくるので、ああいうノリが許せる人なら楽しめると思います。
シナリオは一本道ですが、各ヒロインとのエンディング含めて感動系です。
各エンドで前向きではあるけれど色んな犠牲を払っているだけにTRUEエンドの感動はひとしおでした。
その点も含めて小説ではなくゲームという媒体で出した良さがあったと思います。
テーマであるタイムトラベルの理論については正直よく分からない部分も多かったけれどストーリーはテンポ良く緊張感もあって一気にプレイしました。
システム面は操作しやすく、他ハードでの価格を見てもiPadユーザーなら買いだと思います。

### 5/5 — Been waiting for this for so long....

*2011-08-25, version 1.0*

At last it's here !!!
That's it..  I won't say anything more, as I am going to continue playing :)
