Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Shirakami Fubuki and Hoshimachi Suisei played a browser-based real escape game based on Steins;Gate, encountering a freeze that forced a restart. The article also recalls Oozora Subaru and Usada Pekora's first-time reactions to the series. The piece promotes the upcoming Steins;Gate RE:BOOT, which adds a new Gamma world line route.
The escape game, produced by SCRAP, required two players to cooperate: one advising Kurisu Makise and the other Mayuri Shiina, both trapped in an enemy hideout. About an hour in, Fubuki's browser froze, and the pair had to restart from the beginning-a glitch Suisei likened to the power of Reading Steiner. Fubuki, who has completed the series, called the experience pure Steins;Gate. Suisei, who had only seen up to episode nine of the anime, said she now wants to watch the whole thing. The article also highlights past simultaneous viewing sessions by Oozora Subaru and Usada Pekora, who became passionate fans after finishing the series. The upcoming Steins;Gate RE:BOOT, releasing August 20, 2026, will include a new Gamma world line route, expanding on a dark alternate timeline first introduced in a drama CD.
