Steins;Gate is the second entry in the Science Adventure series. The story follows the mad scientist, Okabe Rintarou and his rag tag band of friends who discover a means of changing the past via text messages, using a modified microwave. Their experiments into how far they can go with their discovery begin to spiral out of control as they become entangled in a conspiracy surrounding SERN, the organisation behind the Large Hadron Collider, and John Titor who claims to be from a dystopian future.

You’ll be able to (re)experience the game with the entirety of the characters wearing costumes/cosplay!

Download the installer. You want SGPatch-v<version>-Setup.zip
, not the source code.
Extract the archive somewhere on your hard drive, not in your game directory.
Go to the newly created SGPatch-v<version>-Setup
folder and run SGPatch-Installer.exe
. Warning: Has sound.
If the installer quits with an error about
MSVCP140_1.dll
, install Visual C++ Redistributable (32-bit version,vc_redist.x86.exe
- regardless of your system) and try again.
SGPatch-v<version>-Setup
folder.Download the installer. You want SGPatch-v<version>-Setup.zip
, not the source code.
Extract the archive somewhere on your hard drive, not in your game directory.
You’ll get a new folder called SGPatch-v<version>-Setup
. Memorise this location.
Go to Steam, and add a non-Steam game. Navigate to the SGPatch-v<version>-Setup
folder and add SGPatch-Installer.exe
as a game.
Right Click SGPatch-Installer.exe
> Properties > Launch Options, and enter this command, depending on where you installed Steins;Gate.
You need to change the path between quotes of the command depending on your system.
For Steam Deck, you can just copy this command as-is (if installed on Internal Storage)
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/412830" %command%
Normally, this compatdata folder is found in your .steam folder;
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/412830
.412830 is the App ID of Steins;Gate on Steam.
This path between quotes IS Steins;Gate’s compatdata folder – it’ll have a
drive_c folder
inside of it, to make sure you have the right one.
Done! Delete the installer files, and you can check the About section to see what it contains again.
