Steins;Gate 0

Rintarou Okabe, once the self-styled mad scientist, is left hollowed out by trauma after failing to save Makise Kurisu. Determined to abandon his alter ego, he tries to pass as an ordinary college student, keeping his time travel experiences to himself even as the memories refuse to fade.

While working as a receptionist at a university technology forum, Okabe meets the sharp, spirited Maho Hiyajo—soon revealed as the interpreter for a presentation led by Professor Alexis Leskinen. Together they introduce Amadeus, an AI that preserves a person’s memories and uses them to recreate a remarkably faithful simulation, down to personality and mannerisms. When Okabe learns that Amadeus includes a simulated Kurisu and is recruited to study its behavior, he’s drawn back toward the past he’s been running from—where every attempt to reach for what was lost risks stirring consequences tied to the fragile flow of time.
