Experience this STEINS;GATE afterstory in 8-bit!

Unexpected as it is, we patched this very niche entry, as it contains a lot of interesting setup for the series’s overarching science, as well as a few references to the CHAOS;HEAD entries. We also tried to make it less annoying to set up.

Enjoy this short sequel in a known yet different world…

Features

Script fixes

A full translation check of the game has been completed, fixing mistranslations, grammatical issues, minor typos, and wording issues, as well as an extensive number of inconsistencies with text formatting.

Translated CGs

Translated a number of CGs relevant to gameplay.

Point-of-view selection

You can choose to play in first person, like the game was written in, or in second person, the more traditional way for the genre in the West. Use the in-game configuration to select the mode.

Engine update

By upgrading the game from krkr2 to krkrz, we made it so that you don’t need to change your locale anymore. You can now enjoy the game with less headache. Also, we provided more resolution settings, available in the in-game configuration.

Installation instructions

  1. ↓ Download the installer. You want SGVSOPatch-v<version>-Setup.zip, not the source code.
  2. Extract the archive somewhere on your hard drive, not in your game directory.
  3. Go to the newly created SGVSOPatch-v<version>-Setup folder and run SGVSOPatch-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.
  1. After you click Finish and the installer closes, you can delete the SGVSOPatch-v<version>-Setup folder.
  2. As there is no way for the installer to automatically obtain your install path, you will need to add the root of your game yourself.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having a problem not covered here, please ask us on Discord about it.

Launcher fails to start

You can try starting the launcher from the desktop/start menu shortcut (if you created one during the installation) or by directly running LauncherC0.exe from the game directory.

Installer shows an error about MSVCP140_1.dll

MSVCP140.dll error

Install Visual C++ Redistributable (32-bit version, vc_redist.x86.exe - regardless of your system) and try again.

Installer shows an error about api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

UCRT error

Update Windows. You may need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable again afterwards (file above) - use “Repair” when prompted.
