The story is set half a year after the events of Robotics;Notes, and follows the former members of the robotics club. It features several crossover elements with other games in the series, including the appearance of the Steins;Gate character Itaru "Daru" Hashida. The game's story branches into different directions throughout the game, based on destinations the player chooses in the in-game mobile app Deluoode Map.
Reviewers enjoyed the game's writing and visuals, as well as its depiction of Tanegashiman culture, and considered it appealing to fans of Steins;Gate and the Science Adventure series in general due to things like Daru's involvement in the story.
