<Overview of 'STEINS;GATE Octet in the Shifting Space'>

This game was originally released for Windows on October 28, 2011. This is the first port to consumer game consoles.

Based on the concept 'What if STEINS;GATE were reproduced on a 1980s PC?', the original scenario is built in the style of an '8-bit PC era adventure game'. It supports software keyboards and USB keyboards to match current consoles.

Defy the evolution of time and enjoy the nostalgic 8-bit world!

Adopts the command-input system from the dawn of adventure games

▲ When you want to talk to someone, input the command 'talk'.

Find the IBN5100 that was taken again with the lab members in Akihabara! Players become Okabe Rintaro and explore the streets of Akihabara.

Instead of traditional selection-based progression, this game reproduces 'command input', which was common in the early days of 80s adventure games! Freely input commands (English words) to advance the story.

Finding the right commands to move the story forward depends on your creativity!

Graphics drawn with line & paint

▲ 'Line & paint' rendered on 80s PC specs. After reading line art data and completing display, painting begins. You can observe the drawing process in real-time over a few seconds.

Early adventure games used a drawing method that drew lines one by one and then painted. To create a retro atmosphere, this game fully reproduces 'line & paint'! You can even enjoy the exciting feeling of waiting for the graphics to gradually appear on screen.

You can also skip with one button, so even busy modern people can play quickly.

Graphic settings mimicking various retro PCs

Graphics are rendered to match the specs of various 80s PCs. Of course, it supports 8-color digital RGB graphics, as well as green monitor models. You can nostalgically enjoy the expression within limited specs.

The sound also reproduces FM and PSG sound sources of the era!

The sound features FM 3-voice + PSG 3-voice, etc., with attention to spec differences across models.

The BGM programming is done by composer Takeshi Abo himself.
