Steins;Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram is a sci-fi visual novel in the Science Adventure series developed by 5pb. It is a non-canon spin-off of Steins;Gate, featuring several separate short stories viewed from the perspectives of multiple members of the original game's cast.
The game was originally released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on April 25, 2013, before eventually receiving a PC port and an official English localization on February 19, 2019, bundled with Steins;Gate Elite as a bonus game.
The current release suffers from a poor English text font and typography. No unofficial fixes or patches currently exist to rectify this. The game also cannot be purchased standalone; it is only available as part of a bundle alongside Steins;Gate Elite.
