Introduction
What is Steins;Gate?
Steins;Gate is a Visual Novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus. It has the following notable features:
* Six endings!
* Art from Huke, an illustrator involved in Metal Gear Solid and Black Rock Shooter!
* A protagonist who isn't a bland reader insert!
* No porn!
Story in a nutshell: Self-proclaimed mad scientist Hououin Kyouma accidentally stumbles upon the secret of time travel. What will he do with that kind of power? Will he be able to set things right when they inevitably go wrong? Who else has taken an interest in this dangerous new technology? Can the past truly be changed?
LP Rules
* I will be going through and getting all six endings, for completionist's sake.
* I won't be including the TIPS, unfortunately, as the English patched version of the game freezes and dies whenever I try to access them.
