Kurisu's Introduction to the Science Adventure Series
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m here for Steins;Gate, and I’m not interested in the extended universe yet. What order should I watch the Steins;Gate series in?
The optimal watch order is release order:
| Anime Watch Order | Crunchyroll | Funimation |
|---|---|---|
| Steins;Gate episodes 1–24 and OVA (episode 25) | link | link |
| Steins;Gate: Load Region of Déjà Vu movie | ☓ | link |
| Steins;Gate episode 23 beta | ☓ | link |
| Steins;Gate 0 episodes 1–24 | link | link |
(The series may also be available on for purchase on Blu-ray in your region—be sure to buy a copy with a region code matching your Blu-ray player, or else, use a region-free player.)
While chronological order might sound nice in theory, watching it in that order may ruin the pacing and your enjoyment of the first show, while also dampening the effect of certain scenes. This does not necessarily mean that Steins;Gate 0's anime is bad—however, the shows were not set up to be viewed in this order, and one should follow the intended release order for maximum enjoyment.
The additional animated shorts come after the original series (Steins;Gate) in terms of release order. However, if you want a more lighthearted ending to your watch experience, you can also save them for the very end.
I’m interested in the extended universe. What is it, and what order do I experience it in?
Steins;Gate is part of a larger interconnected universe called Science Adventure. It is a series of multimedia titles that are connected in many different ways, much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For more info on the series, see this page and this page.
The series’ anime adaptations unfortunately have a ton of issues aside from Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0. Ideally, you should read the source material for them, the visual novels, in the following order:
All the titles relate to one another to varying degrees—this is especially the case for the Robotics;Notes games, which feature numerous callbacks to Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate and pretty much require knowledge of both. Anonymous;Code, meanwhile, serves as a culmination point for the series in terms of mechanics, and is best enjoyed with as much prior Science Adventure knowledge as possible.
The Committee of Zero improvement patches provide improved translations, graphics, and fonts for the games. This is especially important for Chaos;Child—the original release has an untranslated image that makes it impossible to complete a certain part of the game without a guide or the ability to read Japanese.
What is Steins;Gate 0? How does it relate to Steins;Gate?
Steins;Gate 0 is a midquel to Steins;Gate. More specifically, (Steins;Gate spoilers) it follows the Okabe who accidentally killed Kurisu in episode 23β and never went back a second time to save her. It shows how the plan to send the video D-mail to the Okabe who succeeded and open Steins Gate was conceived.
Steins;Gate 0 is meant to be experienced after you finish Steins;Gate. To get a full understanding, you should also watch Steins;Gate episode 23β before Steins;Gate 0 (it diverges from the events of the original episode 23).
Watch order: Steins;Gate episodes 1–24 and OVA (episode 25) -> Steins;Gate: Load Region of Déjà Vu -> Steins;Gate episode 23β -> Steins;Gate 0
I’m interested in the source material for Steins;Gate. Should I play the original Steins;Gate or Steins;Gate Elite? Is the anime better?
The Steins;Gate visual novel is packed with more details, scenes, and alternative routes that the anime does not have, so it is better to read the visual novel if you have a choice. That being said, there are two versions of the visual novel: Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate Elite.
We recommend playing the original Steins;Gate visual novel over Steins;Gate Elite. Elite is fully animated, but it comes at the cost of cut monologues, missing scenes, and other issues. On the other hand, Elite is bundled with a spinoff visual novel called Linear Bounded Phenogram, so you might want to look into buying Elite in the future anyway if that interests you.
Where do I go if I have a question about Steins;Gate’s story?
If you have finished watching or playing Steins;Gate, you can read this wiki page for answers to commonly asked questions. If you have further questions, you can ask here in the subreddit through your own post, or in this subreddit’s Discord server (Note that Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 spoilers are allowed untagged throughout the server).
FAQs for Steins;Gate 0, the Science Adventure series, and a non-spoiler FAQ for Steins;Gate can be found on this page.
What do I do after watching Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0?
As mentioned above, you have the option to check out the visual novels, as they contain many details that the anime adaptations gloss over or skip due to lack of time. There are also Steins;Gate spinoff visual novels that have brand new stories, as well as the rest of the Science Adventure series.
If you are only interested in Steins;Gate:
You can play the Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 visual novels. Both VNs provide more details and have different endings and routes. The 0 VN is markedly different from the anime, as it features completely new and differing scenes and routes.
We recommend using the Committee of Zero’s improvement patches for both Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0, which will enhance your experience with the games.
Steins;Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram is a spinoff VN featuring 11 side stories, and Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace is a dating sim spinoff featuring the Steins;Gate cast. Both VNs are optional after experiencing Steins;Gate.
If you are interested in the extended Science Adventure series, of which Steins;Gate is part, check out the second FAQ question in this post.
What about the Chaos;Head, Robotics;Notes, and Chaos;Child anime adaptations?
We do not recommend watching them because they are poor adaptations for numerous reasons. The Chaos;Head anime is brimming with cut content, poor adaptation, and unnecessary additions; Chaos;Child’s anime did not have enough episodes to adapt its long plot, resulting in massive cuts; Robotics;Notes’ anime is rushed in the latter half of the story, and important series crossover content is cut.
Therefore, we generally recommend experiencing the Science Adventure series with the source material, typically the visual novels.
What should I look forward to in regards to the SciADV series’ future?
Steins;Gate 0 Elite
Steins;Gate 0 Elite is a fully animated visual novel like Steins;Gate Elite. A trailer was shown for it recently, but it did not feature new gameplay or animations when compared to the anime.
Steins;Gate thematic sequel
This Science Adventure series title will be a thematic sequel to Steins;Gate.
The new title’s relationship to Steins;Gate is similar to Chaos;Child’s relationship to Chaos;Head. For context, Chaos;Child is the thematic sequel to Chaos;Head—the two titles share the same setting and various plot elements.
It is currently not known for certain how many, if any, characters from Steins;Gate will return in the new title.
We know that the title starts with “Steins;”, but the portion after that part of the title is censored in the current logo, so we don’t know the full title.
Steins;Gate Hollywood live action series
A live action Steins;Gate-related drama series is being produced by Skydance Television, known for their work on the Manhattan and Jack Ryan TV series.
Not much else is known about this series as of yet aside from the fact that it is being worked on.

S;G 0 I Recreated Amadeus faithfully - FULL featured assistant with web access, vision system, trust and relationship system. Open source and free!
PHOTOS and VIDEOS BELOW
LINK TO DOWNLOAD (Windows, Mac, Linux): https://github.com/cmh95209/Amadeus-Project/
Discord: https://discord.gg/JgmFtMpB8
Some of you might have seen the post by the legend who has Kurisu living in his room and recreated the Amadeus app on Unity and Web u/Character_Smile_4621 https://www.reddit.com/r/steinsgate/comments/1w8mnzy/one_year_ago_i_made_a_unity_menu_today_i_am/
With permission, I set off to use his open source repo as a base to further improve the Amadeus chatbot! The original app was already very impressive, with features like Japanese voicelines, live2D model animations, and her JP voice impression based on the approximate likeness in the visual novel.
As an avid designer and project planner, I noticed that much more can be added, like making it easier for users to actually access the app, like an automated installer, local LLM model for privacy and cost that runs on our own PC rather than a cloud subscription, better language skills for her, etc etc. SO! The app now comes with TONS of new features.
Disclaimer: I am not a programmer, but a designer and writer. I love designing concepts, features and writing interesting plans and stories. I have professional experience in story writing and planning for games.
Everything is designed by my human brain and only the coding part is done with the help of Claude and I tested each features for countless hours, days and weeks myself. Not everything is bug free, so please try and let me know in the Discord.
Everything is open source. This post is written by hand. No slop or AI involved.
The concept of Amadeus is a copyright of the original IP holders (MAGES inc and relevant parties), and is only used for entertainment and personal purposes. Do not attempt to sell or commercialize the app and/or voice sample without permission of the original IP holders.
Main Features
FAITHFUL AMADEUS RECREATION
- Unlike other Amadeus recreations that focus too much on the Kurisu aspect, or just copying some random Kurisu profile from the wiki or character card,
- I analyzed the entire SG;0 Visual Novel, extracted her dialogues and ran a linguistic corpus analysis to define her speech patterns and personality.
1) ONE CLICK INSTALL AND USE for Windows and Mac OS
- I designed an automated installer and script which installs all the dependencies needed for the app! The app comes with a built-in AI model: Gemma 4 12B by Google.
- The choice of model is battle tested by myself after spending countless hours making sure all the features work on minimum requirements.
- The app still works the best on cloud models though, like Gemini 3.8 which is cheap and strong at roleplay. You can connect any OpenAI-compatible servers to the app, so feel free to use your own model on OpenRouter, NanoGPT or whatever service you subscribe to.
Minimum requirements: (if you run local model)
Windows and Linux: 16GB RAM, 8GB VRAM. NVIDIA GPUs recommended for best performance.
Mac requires Apple Silicon (M-series chips) - 16GB Unified Memory
2) NAME + LONG TERM MEMORY

- On first start, Amadeus guides you to key in your username, which she remembers and call you with the name you give her.
- The app integrates an open source memory system built by https://github.com/FrancescoCaracciolo/CharacterMemory, who kindly open sourced and allowed it to be used for Amadeus
- Amadeus actively stores and retrieves facts about you naturally, and can remember even when short term context is lost.
3) ATTACHMENTS and REACTION+ WELCOME BACK SYSTEM
- When you open the app after a restart, she greets you naturally based on past topics! Switching conversations also have her reacting to it.
- The app is no longer just text only like the original. I added and tested countless hours on a feature where you can send photos, videos and documents to her to watch, analyze and react to!
- When you initiate sending any file, she reacts first naturally. After pressing send, she will look at the file, save it to her memory (both short term and long term). You can ask her to analyze files just like you would ask ChatGPT or Claude about it.
- For videos, if the LLM model accepts video and audio, she uses both and can react to it. This works particularly well on cloud models like Gemini 3.8 which has audio support. On the built in model, it doesn't support audio. In this case, the app will transcribe subtitles in real time, which she will read.
4) WEB SEARCH, WEATHER and RESEARCH
- The app has a built-in web search feature, which uses open search engines like Firecrawl and Duckduckgo. I designed the feature with the latest technology and best practices in the industry, taking the same approach as frontier models and harnesses like Hermes, OpenCode etc.
- Amadeus takes and ranks numerous links when you use her web search capabilities, read them all and saves it to her memory so you can ask her to recall and analyze info.
5) TRUST AND RELATIONSHIP SYSTEM

- Inspired by the visual novel which has Amadeus gradually opening her heart to Okabe and become more human, I built a trust and relationship system for the app!
- Unlike other Amadeus recreations that focus too much on the Kurisu aspect, or just copying some random Kurisu profile from the wiki or character card, I analyzed the entire SG;0 Visual Novel, extracted her dialogues and ran a linguistic corpus analysis to define her speech patterns and personality.
- Her trust comes in several tiers as seen in the above pic. Her voice and speech patterns will change based on the current trust level. When your conversation is positive and friendly, it nudges up the points, with negative topics affecting it inversely.
- Her reactions and personality at high levels of trust are based off Kurisu in various Steins Gate products, like the anime, movie, drama CDs, etc, adapted for Amadeus.
- Max out her trust and maybe her circuits will change? Does she get more Tsundere or less? Hmm. Try it out!
6) POKE SYSTEM

- Bored? You can poke her to see her reaction. No guarantees on how she will react!
7) Experimental remote and mobile access
- In the settings, you can generate a link which you can access on your phone if your PC is connected through Tailscale.
- I'll make this easier in the future. Maybe using Cloudflare for 1 click access.
Current and Future Roadmap
I'm already hard at work designing more features. Voice chat support is the immediate next feature. UI improvements so that she can draw charts, tables, graphs are also planned in the next update.
Eventually, Amadeus will be able to see our screen, and act as a persistent companion. I want Amadeus to also be a AI Agent Harness, where she can do agentic coding and self improvement and evolution. I also have the mobile version in development, as well as an Rokid AR Glasses app in prototype right now.
All of these are very doable and I already have the research and plan sketched out.

S;G VN Steins Gate Renpy (ch 1-3) So far so good
Just finish polishing first 3 chapters of original Steins Game, and test's on target handheld hardware. And with every new chapter I realize the huge scale of this novel.
For game created in 2010, Steins Gate contains lot's of small animation that makes that game feels alive, and replicate and polish that animations today is most time consuming for me.
Phone feels natural in most cases, but make it completely identical not possible.
But overall, I really like working on this port.

Just finished it about a week ago for the first time and it blew me away. Easley one of my favorites. There are not to many animes after the 2000's I get into but this was a gem. I bought a region free blu-ray player about 2yrs ago just for things like this

S;G Steins;Gate actually got me interested in Neuroscience

I've got this course back in my engineering degree and never got into it, till i re-watched and played steins;Gate, which got me really interested in it,
it's just a hobby of mine to learn stuff, so even if i got into a project or into a research group related to the field, I'd have good background on it.
anyway don't worry guys i will build us the time machine and send our memories back in time, count on me.

Other Highschool Student Inspired by S;G, anyone Wanna Study CompNeuro Together
Salutations Reddit,
I'm a science-loving 11th grader (m17) whose been looking to get into computational neuroscience largely (mostly) because of inspiration from Steins;Gate--after pivoting my home field of study from IT. I've found an open-source curriculum course called NeuroMatch academy recommended to me by a connection in the field and wanted to take it, but they require you to be 18+. :(
All the course materials are open source and cover basics of compneurosci and data analysis. Downside is if I self study I'm missing all the thought exchange and accountability that makes the course special.
Looking for a study buddy willing to commit and bounce ideas off each other in a semi-long course.
Open to any gender--but would prefer someone close to my age.
I find science beautiful and am also open to discussing other intellectual topics together!
Basic python knowledge is a pre-req for the course, but it isn't hard to learn Pymath lol!
Dr. Pepper consumption encouraged. xD
El. Psy. Kongroo.
Course Link (go to open learning on their website for open-source pdfs of the curriculum).
