A large influence on his scenario was the anime series Code Geass (2006–2007), with the character Lelouch Lamperouge influencing Okabe's "wannabe bad guy" characterization. Uchikoshi did not work sequentially on his scenario, "Abduction Across Three Worlds", instead choosing to write in a disordered style, going back and forth, writing different parts in parallel. Matsubara said that this resulted in them getting to work on characters they liked and were good at portraying. Matsubara contacted people who had been involved with different Steins Gate media and were knowledgeable on the series, and the writers themselves picked which of the main characters they wanted to write about on a first-come-first-served basis. The decision to let new writers work on the game came from when Shikura was working on the anime adaptation of Steins Gate, and he realized that the game's world was already fully conceived, which meant that he could let other writers who understand the world work on Steins Gate projects, bringing new ideas into it. Unlike the original Steins Gate, where Shikura came up with the story himself, the story of Linear Bounded Phenogram was crafted by a group of writers: The script was written and supervised by Science Adventure series regular Naotaka Hayashi together with guest writers Baio Shimokura, Masahiro Yokotani, Kiyomune Miwa, Teru Arai, Shogo Sakamoto, Masashi Kigasawa, Toru Yasumoto, Kougetsu Mikaduki, Keiji Akatsuki, and Kotaro Uchikoshi, who each wrote one scenario. The project started with the concept of a Steins Gate spin-off focusing on each character individually, with a more serious tone than the earlier spin-off Steins Gate: My Darling's Embrace. 5pb.'s CEO Chiyomaru Shikura wrote the game's theme song, "Phenogram", which was performed by Ayane. Linear Bounded Phenogram was developed by 5pb., and was produced by Tatsuya Matsubara, with character designs by Huke. Kotaro Uchikoshi wrote the scenario "Abduction Across Three Worlds". Among these were Naotaka Hayashi, who had worked on previous Science Adventure titles and supervised the story, and Kotaro Uchikoshi, whose writing for the game was influenced by the anime series Code Geass. As 5pb.'s Chiyomaru Shikura felt that the Steins Gate world had been fully conceived, he allowed a group of other writers create the game's story to bring new ideas to the series. The game was produced by Tatsuya Matsubara, with character design by Huke. Unlike previous entries in the Steins Gate series, the game is nearly devoid of interactive narrative. It consists of ten side stories set in different realities, and follow different Steins Gate characters. The game is part of the Science Adventure series, and a spin-off from the 2009 game Steins Gate.
