This is a clone/remake of the 8-bit sequel to the Steins;Gate anime/visual novel. While it's a non-canon spinoff, it does contain major spoilers for the original Steins;Gate story. It is recommended you watch/play Steins;Gate before trying this remake.

It was entered into the gbdev Gameboy Coding Compo 2014 (2nd place).

Features

• The first four scenarios of the game, out of seven total.

• 10 slots for saving and loading games.

User guide

On the bottom screen, you can select between a keyboard, a list of common commands, and history of entered commands.

Select Enter and press A to submit your entered command. You can also press Start to submit.

To save or load the game, type "save" or "load" at the command prompt.

Commands

At certain points in the game, you will need to enter commands to decide what to do next.

Here are some tips when entering commands, because it can be slightly confusing. This version has been designed to be more forgiving compared to the original game in terms of acceptable commands; but it still helps to have the old-school text adventure mindset.

There are usually three rules that valid commands follow:

• If you want to move in a direction, simply type the direction. (left, right, front, back, up, down, etc.)
• If you want to perform an action, simply type the action. (look, talk, eat, etc.)
• If you want to perform an action on a certain object, type the action then the object. (look poster, kick can, etc.)

Controls

Any key - Advance text

A - Hold to skip text

Select - Switch between keyboard, list of common commands and history of entered commands

Start or Enter key+A - Submit your entered command
