Here, you can talk to people, investigate the surroundings, use something in the inventory or “crazy laugh” – after all, we are controlling Houoin Kyouma, and it’s actually required in a few points of the story, but for the most part it’s inconsequential.Ĩ-Bit Adv Steins Gate offers a nice rendition of locations we see in the main game, and despite the limitations of the NES, most of them are easily recognizable. Primarily, secondary characters like Lukako and Faris never get access to D-Mail, so their paths are missing.Įxploration is viewed from an overhead perspective, as you move Rintaro Okabe through Akihabara, though when you walk into a building, it switches to a first-person perspective with a command menu. The script is vastly truncated, many events are shortened, and several are cut out entirely. It’s only about two hours along, with some of that time is just spent walking around.
Its story, although different from the main Steins Gate, follows the same group of characters and set pieces, so playing this before the main game will spoil the existence of certain things like the PhoneWave, D-Mail, the time machine, and the overall plot. It was developed by M2, typically known for their emulation wizardry.
The game also features “demake” music tracks from both Steins Gate and Steins Gate 0, composed by chiptune artist Chibi-Tech, which are both recognizable and a joy to listen to. The presentation includes a custom color palette, a shader, and borders to make it look like it’s being played on an old TV. Included only with the Switch version of Steins Gate Elite, 8-Bit Adv Steins Gate is so faithful that it’s actually a newly made NES game run through an emulator. When Steins Gate Elite came around, a new retro-style game was commissioned, this one resembling Famicom adventure games like Famicom Detective Club. Steins Gate has a particular fascination with retro technology, which resulted in a short spin-off text adventure made for PCs.
