"The universe has a beginning, but it has no end. —Infinite.
Stars, too, have their own beginnings, but are by their own power destroyed. —Finite.
History teaches that those who hold wisdom are often the most foolish.
The fish in the sea know not the land. If they too hold wisdom, they too will be destroyed.
It is more ridiculous for man to exceed light speed than for fish to live ashore. This may also be called God's final warning to those who rebel."

The story of Steins;Gate takes place in Akihabara, and is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past.
As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down.
The characters must now find a way to avoid being captured by them.

Interaction with the game takes place through the “phone trigger” system, where the player can receive calls and text messages and decide whether to reply to them or not, changing the outcome of the game’s plot.
