The Future Research Institute in Akihabara

The story takes place in Akihabara and centers on university student Rintarō Okabe, who calls himself 'Ōōin Okama,' and the Future Props Research Institute he founded. Lab members tinkered with various small inventions daily, and one of the accidental anomalies made them start to doubt whether the information could be sent to the past. Research that originally seemed like a club play now affects larger scientific institutions and real-world risks; The narrative gradually shifts from a group of acquaintances reacting to the new discovery to a sci-fi suspense.

Science adventure series

The official classification of this work as a "hypothetical science ADV" is explained, explaining that the story uses real-world scientific phenomena as its framework, with a few fantasy elements added. The series was first released in October 2009 and is the second installment in the scientific adventure series. 《STEINS; GATE ELITE reconstructs the main story through animation performances, while STEINS; GATE 0 is another work. This article unfolds from the perspective of laboratory daily life and Okabe, with key developments related to mobile phone operations.

Akihabara and Future Props Research Institute

The story begins with Rintaro Okabe's life in Akihabara. He calls himself Okama Hououin, calls the place where his friends gather the Future Props Research Institute, and gives the device he created a special name. The initial daily interactions, jokes, and little inventions establish character relationships for subsequent events.

The institute's microwave phone has an unexpected function: mail can be sent to the past. Research is not only about the principles of the device; the behavior of the information recipient also changes subsequent developments. As the experiment continues, Okabe must confront the gap between the experiences he remembers and the reality before him.

Opening characters

Rintaro Okabe is the main point of view, with exaggerated self-introductions coexisting with his actions to protect his comrades. Mayuri Shiina is his longtime companion; Hashida Itaru excelled in computer technology and held an important position in the institute's technical work. Kurisu Makise enters the story as a neuroscience researcher, offering explanations for the experiment that differ from Okabe's own account.

Characters communicate through meetings, phone calls, and emails. The way you address each other on your phone, reply content, and whether you respond promptly not only complement daily relationships but also keep players engaged in the story's pace. The profile page should separately record public identities and subsequent experiences, avoiding directly listing the route and ending in the list.

The phone triggered the system

The Phone Trigger in this game puts some choices into your phone: answering or ignoring calls, reading emails, choosing to reply, all of which can affect conversations and subsequent branches. It doesn't put all judgments into a central option menu, so the phone is also a narrative interface to pay attention to.

This section introduces the system format and does not provide any favorable conditions or ending guides that have not been verified by each version. The guide record should further indicate the original or ported version, as well as the actual translation of the email.

This article, ELITE, and subsequent works

The official series website lists this as the second science ADV series starting in 2009, with the character design by huke and the main script by Naotaka Hayashi. ELITE uses animation to reconstruct the main story's performance, representing another version of the same main story.

《STEINS; GATE 0 unfolds a new story around the possibility of another development, rather than adding an ordinary chapter to the main story. The official website also distinguishes derivative stories such as "Representation of Linear Constraints." When first looking up series materials, distinguishing the main work, remakes, and derivative works by their full titles helps avoid mixing their content.

Original soundtrack and short version of the song

The Xbox 360 original STEINS; GATE Original Soundtrack + Radio CD》 is a dual music CD featuring 36 BGM tracks and five short vocal tracks. Abao Gang was responsible for the BGM composition. Among the vocal tracks, "Observer of the Skyclade" is written and composed by Chiyomaru Yushikura, arranged by Toshimichi Isoe; "technovision" is by Kanako Yuito, composed by AKIRASTAR, and arranged by DJ SADOI; both songs are performed by Kanako Yuto. "Masquerade" and "Fateful Farfarra" were arranged and composed by Tatsushi Hayashi, with lyrics by Chiyomaru Shikura and Ren Karen respectively, performed under the name PHANTASM/FES (Yui Sakakibara); "Another Heaven" features lyrics by Junya Urushino, composed by Etsuhiro Suda, arranged by Toshimichi Isoe, and performed by Kanako Ito.

Design OF the GATE OF STEINER and scientific scenes

After reading the entire script, Abao first wrote "GATE OF STEINER." At that time, he did not specify the usage scene but tried to compose a piece that represented the entire work. He also listed "Explanation" and "Hack -beta vision-" as his favorite tracks, indicating that these two songs represent scientific technology in ADV that seems almost real. Later, in the animated version of 'GATE OF STEINER,' live instruments were used, and Tsuyoshi Abo composed the soundtrack based on the storyboard and specific scene duration.

Mobile Operation and Two Types of Past Interference (PSP Main Article)

Answering calls, opening messages, choosing reply words, and actively dialing on your phone can lead the story into different developments. D emails send short texts in the past; Kurisi's research digitizes and compresses memories, allowing the institute to send current memories back to the person in the past. The working hours of the telephone microwave oven are also related to the cathode ray tube TV downstairs.

Closing Results and Repeated Retries (PSP main post, spoilers)

In the α timeline, Mayuri dies due to various accidents or attacks, and a single escape cannot resolve this outcome. Okabe retained his memories from before the change, repeatedly jumping through time and then withdrawing his partner's D-mail one by one, trying to leave this convergence range.

Suzuha, Phyllis, and Ruka's Different Choices (PSP mutually exclusive ending, spoilers)

Suzuha's personal fate allows Okabe to escape the subsequent changes, repeating a two-day cycling routine, and finally traveling to 1975 with Suzuha, who has sensed the cycle. Phyllis's D-mail saves her father and changes the history of the Akihabara neighborhood; Her ending retains her father, but causes Okabe to lose her original relationship with Hashida and Mayuri. Ruka's ending retains the female world Ruka, allowing her and Okabe to bear Mayuri's death and later co-parenting a child.

FB and Tennoji Father and Daughter (PSP later stages, spoilers)

Moe Yu relies on FB emails to carry out missions. After Okabe investigates, he discovers that FB is actually Yugo Tennoji, the owner of the cathode ray tube. Yugo is a member of SERN's Rounder; In a specific timeline, Nao seeks revenge for her father's death, using multiple time jumps to bring her adult memories back to her childhood body, kills Moei, and warns Okabe of future revenge.

True: Two conditions for saving lives and thesis (PSP ending, spoilers)

Dr. Nakabachi is Kurisu's father and has stolen her time travel paper. After Okabe fails to save her for the first time, he receives a video of himself in the future; The second time, he made his earlier self mistakenly believe she was dead, while still saving her life. The metal upa used to avoid the cargo hold with the paper sealed bag; after replacing it with a regular upa, the paper was destroyed by fire in the hold, preventing the middle bowl from taking it away and spreading it.

The difference between the full version and the platform's theme

On June 26, 2013, VOCAL BEST supplemented with the regular vocal versions of 'Fate's Farfarla,' 'technovision,' and 'マスカレード,' which differ from the 2010 original short version. The Windows port uses the iconic song "A.R."; the PSP OP and ED are "Space Engineer" and "Plegiera's Moonlit Night Edition" respectively; the PS3 OP is "Nonlinear Geniac." "Hacking to the Gate" and "The Twelve Alliances of the Era" are TV anime themes, with collections included according to their respective versions.

Character songs for the eight lab members

Lab member numbers 001 to 008 correspond respectively to Okabe, Mayuri, Hashida, Kurisu, Moeku, Ruka, Feilis, and Suzuha. "Impenetrable New Gate" and "Gentle Twilight" arranged by Kosuke Oshima; "Fantasy Tale of a Moe World" with lyrics by MAKOTO-ONP, composed by YORI, arranged by Seiji Katsu; "To Be Loved" features lyrics by Kanon Kuwa and arrangement by ¥utaka. Real-life singers recorded under the respective character names, and these songs were later re-released on VOCAL BEST.

Orchestral arrangements and new vocal arrangements

On September 25, 2013, "SYMPHONIC REUNION" expanded to 26 tracks as a dual CD CD based on the 2012 PS3 dual-game bonus "MATERIAL." For the soundtracks, "GATE OF STEINER," "Noisy Times," and "Crossroads" were arranged by Taro Makito; "Cycle" was arranged by Katsu Yokoyama; "Explanation," "Laboratory," "hesitative consideration," and "OPERATION SKULD" were arranged by Jun Murakami. "Human community," "Chaos mind," and "Quiet air" were arranged by Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Nobuaki Nobusawa, and Alex Vourtsanis, respectively.

Orchestral vocal and accompaniment positions

The first six tracks of the second disc are orchestral and vocal: "Hacking to the Gate," "Pregiera no Tsukiyoru ni," and "Skyclad no Observer" arranged by Katsu Yokoyama; "Space Engineer" and "Always at This Place" arranged by Taro Makido; and "Nonlinear Geniac" arranged by Tsutomu Narita. Tracks 7 to 12 include these instrumental versions in the same order, retaining their compositions and orchestral arrangements respectively.

Character bonuses and anniversary song collection

2016: The Sound of STEINS; GATE Soul' re-includes the eight members' character songs, and includes the anime Blu-ray bonus tracks "Make Queen at 3 PM," "Labomen Idea," and "Labomen☆Spirits": the first song is performed by Mayuri and Feiris, the third song by Okabe and Hashida. On March 18, 2020, "GATE OF STEINER 10th Anniversary" compiled 53 theme variations, fully supervised by Tsuyoshi Abo, with "Gate of Steiner" being his new tenth anniversary version for the CD.

Orchestral arrangement by Ringing Medley

"Ringing Medley" from "SYMPHONIC REUNION" strung six game phone ringtones into an orchestral suite. Patrick Gann's track-by-track review credits the arrangement to Kevin Penkin.

Collaboration before the original work was completed

A week or two before the master was completed, the company moved to a new office, while the development team stayed in the old meeting room, continuing to polish with cardboard boxes as tables. Lin Nao-xiao also recalled that Abao had just read the script before composing and once proactively asked if the follow-up was finished.

Specification changes in the original music engineering

The music was originally planned for PC at 44.1kHz, but after switching to Xbox, it switched to 48kHz, resulting in two mixing of sample rates. Abao set the piano to 24-bit to preserve the final note, with the rest mainly at 16-bit.

Two mobile phone outcall methods for mobile ports

The MAGES historical iOS instructions list two sets of operations: the iPhone/iPod touch version allows devices to call up and disconnect Phone Triggers via vertical and horizontal holds; iPad HD is completed by swiping up on the right and down on the left side of the phone. Incoming calls use the upper left secondary display and ringtone prompts, thus combining the phone with the touch screen action in the story. The history instructions separately list log voice replay, while cloud archives distinguish between backup and restore operations.

The time organization of the original work and TV score

Abao recalled that the TV anime soundtrack had to match the storyboard to match the duration of each scene, and the anime version of GATE also used live instruments. The game music strives to maintain the rhythm and emotion needed for the conversation, avoiding sudden shifts to intense passages during reading.

First Time Jump and Farewell (HD Main Story)

Okabe initially did not try the completed device; Mayuri's death prompted his first time jump. After repeated failures, he sought help from Kuri Riki.

In 'Melt of Causality,' the deletion operation has already been performed when Kurisu returns to the research institute. Back in the β, Mayuri persuaded Okabe to stop acting tough, and he cried in front of her.

Preparation for Dating and Dating Within the Deadline (HD Ruka Branch)

Ruka sets the condition for withdrawing D Mail from Okabe before the deadline, and Okabe and Kurisu prepare for the date. This development also mentions Okabe's earlier experience rescuing Oka in Akihabara and his romantic admiration.

Suzuha's active invitation after discovery loop (HD branch)

In 'Irreversible Reboot,' Suzuha notices Okabe's cycle and mental changes, and proactively invites him to accompany him until 1975.
