Steins;Gate Elite retells the original Steins;Gate story using fully animated visuals instead of static art, giving the same time-travel narrative a more cinematic presentation. Players guide Rintaro Okabe through his experiments with a makeshift time machine and the consequences that ripple outward.

Choices are made through phone-based interactions that branch the plot toward different outcomes. It suits newcomers and returning fans alike who want to experience the acclaimed visual novel with an upgraded audiovisual style.
