This is already the second remake of the visual novel, which was originally a sequel to Chaos;Head<\/a> in the Science Adventure series. The first remake, Steins;Gate Elite<\/a>, released in 2019, roping in cutscenes from the acclaimed anime adaptation<\/a>. The Nintendo Switch version of Elite came with a special bonus<\/a>, 8-Bit ADV Steins;Gate, but it remains to be seen whether the 8-bit game or a similar special feature will make a return in the Re:Boot. <\/p>\n

The visual novel puts the player in control of Rintaro Okabe, an eccentric young inventor who\u2019s trying to crack the code of time travel with group of (also eccentric) students. Like most visual novels, major gameplay elements are based on dialogue options and decision-making. The Steam listing<\/a> notes that you can anticipate between 30 and 50 hours of gameplay in the new version. <\/p>\n
