5pb. and Mages have opened the full website for Steins;Gate 0, providing new key artwork and introducing the game’s cast of characters.
(Everything from this point on is a spoiler if you haven’t played previous Steins;Gate games.)
Steins;Gate 0 is set in the Beta World Line where Rintaro Okabe failed to save Kurisu Makise, who died in an Akihabara on July 28. Crushed by the regret and disappointment of not saving her, Okabe returned to his daily life. At a university seminar where he participates as the professor’s assistant, Okabe meets Professor Leskinen and Maho Hiyago, who were on the same team at Kurisu’s university, Victor Chondria. Leskinen and Maho are working on a computer program called “Amadeus,” which can store a person’s memory and become an artificial intelligence of that person. But Kurisu was working on this project before her death, and it has a stored copy of her memory before she left for Japan. Okabe’s life changes completely when he meets Kurisu’s digital replica.
