What it is
Steins;Gate Re:Boot is a text-based single-player adventure from Mages, built around Rintaro Okabe and a group of tech-savvy students. Their invention gains the ability to send messages into the past, putting history and the characters’ fates at risk. The reboot refreshes the characters, artwork and interface, recreates Akihabara, and adds an original scenario to the story. Player choices branch into multiple endings, while controlling Rintaro’s phone can alter the course of events. Its listed approximate playtime is 30–50 hours. The game is listed for Windows on Steam, with Xbox Series X and Series S also named among its platforms. It has partial controller support, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. The central appeal is following a time-focused story where decisions shape what happens to the characters and the world.
