Steins;Gate: My Darling's Embrace

Steins;Gate - Darling of Loving Vows (STEINS;GATE 比翼恋理のだーりん Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Darling?) is a romantic comedy, spin-off visual novel occurring in the Delta Attractor Field.

Story
The story takes place after the 6th of August, 2010 in the original visual novel, when Okabe Rintarou suddenly finds himself in a Delta world line after conducting multiple D-mail experiments. There the Phone Microwave was placed aside and never used in multiple experiments. The Phone Microwave still exists, however the function was not discovered until a later period compared to the original game, thus few experiments were ever held due to Delta Attractor Field Okabe interrupting the members beginning to experiment on the Phone Microwave. There are several new Future Gadgets, and Kiryuu Moeka and Amane Suzuha are lab members. Also, neither Tennouji Yuugo, nor Kiryuu Moeka are Rounders.

When Okabe comes to, he finds the lab members preparing for a party and that due to successive experimenting the Future Gadget Laboratory's electric bill has skyrocketed. To compensate for this Okabe tries waitering and decides to sell the latest Future Gadget.

This Attractor Field is seemingly peaceful. Amane Suzuha of the Alpha Attractor Field's hostility towards Makise Kurisu is absent, and neither Makise Kurisu nor Shiina Mayuri die. However, little is known about its future, and what its convergence point could be.

The story pans out in six possible possibilities, or "routes", each revolves around Rintarou's romantic relationship with either of the 6 main female characters, including the newly added Kiryuu Moeka story path.

Name
The name 比翼恋理 (Hiyoku Renri) is a wordplay on the phrase 比翼連理 (hiyoku renri), which means "marital vows". The "連" (ren) character, meaning "entwined", is here replaced with the "恋" (koi/ren) character, meaning love or tender affection. "比翼" (hiyoku) refers to a single garment made to look double and is often used to refer to (married) couples with a deep, postive relationship. "理" (ri) generally means, reasoning, principle, or logic. However, when paired as "連理" (renri) it denotes an intimate male and female relationship, and, as mentioned previously, when combined as 比翼連理 (hiyoku renri) it denotes "marital vows". As such, by changing "entwined" to "love" the phrase can be read as "loving vows", or alternatively as "比翼 hiyoku" (happily/deeply/strongly bound), "連 ren" (love), "理 ri" (reasoning, principle, or logic).

Trivia

 * The visual novel's story is set in a world line where the influence of SERN is almost non-existent, so it is unclear how and why would Suzuha Amane come into existence at the time of the novel's setting, as SERN's time-traveling device was never invented (and is highly unlikely to be).
 * Taking the above fact into consideration, it is highly improbable for the events of this novel to take place, as the event that started it all, the death of Kurisu, was more or less influenced by SERN. As SERN did not make an appearance in this world line, Kurisu's death likely never happened, thus the events following it (Rintarou meeting Moeka, Suzuha appears,...) are impossible to occur.
 * However, it can be speculated from the visual novel's story that the Okabe from one of the many world lines of the Alpha Attractor Field sent many d-mails that somehow diminished SERN's ring of influence within the world, sending him to the Delta Attractor Field. In Suzuha's route it is suggested that due to the Phone Microwave still being in existence, Okabe of the Delta Attractor Field went on to experiment with the Phone Microwave which lead to the creation of the time machine. This would be reason for Suzuha Amane's existence in 2010 in the visual novel. Taken out of context this can also mean that Delta Attractor field Okabe's future self was the reason for Kurisu to visit Japan to lecture in 2010, and also why Delta Attractor field Okabe of 2010 met Moeka.
