Plot
The film takes place in August 2011, one year after the events of the anime series. After going through a painstaking journey across multiple "world lines" due to the invention of 'D-Mail', text messages that can be sent to the past, Rintaro Okabe has assumedly landed in the "Steins Gate" world line, in which he was able to prevent the deaths of both Mayuri Shiina and Kurisu Makise, as well as prevent a future ruled by the malignant organization SERN due to the invention of a time machine that no longer exists. On August 3, Kurisu arrives in Japan for a press conference and reunites with all the members of the Future Gadget Laboratory. Meanwhile, Okabe starts experiencing intense side effects from his time travels, seeing visions of alternate world lines. The next day on August 4, a mysterious visitor shows up at Kurisu's hotel, telling her to remember three things: a cell phone, a microwave oven, and SERN. Later that day, as Kurisu is telling Okabe about how her own instances of déjà vu may be similar to his "Reading Steiner" ability to remember things from other world lines, Okabe suddenly disappears before Kurisu's eyes.
