The Science Adventure entries all feature stories in the science fiction genre. They make use of real scientific concepts and theories, but also cross over into fictional territory, using fringe science and urban legends.{{cite web |url=https://www.siliconera.com/2019/02/28/steinsgate-elite-producer-on-stringing-together-its-worldlines-and-a-science-adventure-teaser/ |title=STEINS;GATE ELITE Producer On Stringing Together Its Worldlines And A Science Adventure Teaser |author=Sato |date=2019-02-28 |website=Siliconera |publisher=Curse, Inc. |access-date=2019-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301094850/https://www.siliconera.com/2019/02/28/steinsgate-elite-producer-on-stringing-together-its-worldlines-and-a-science-adventure-teaser/ |archive-date=2019-03-01 |url-status=live}} Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child focus on individuals with the power to alter reality, and discuss topics such as perception, reality, and antimatter, while Steins;Gate focuses on time travel. Robotics;Notes focuses on several technologies such as robotics and augmented reality, as well as borrowing some concepts from the previous two entries. Occultic;Nine focuses on the paranormal. Anonymous;Code has a heavy focus on futuristic computer technology, such as brain-computer interfaces, blockchains, internet of things, and world-simulating supercomputers, as well as reusing and re-contextualizing existing series concepts.

The entries are all set in the same universe, and although presented as self-contained stories, they all make significant use of previously established concepts in the series. They all contain frequent callbacks to previous entries as well, ranging from minor references to major revelations. There is also a higher antagonist shared throughout the entire series, the Committee of 300. The Committee, based on the real conspiracy theory, seeks world domination, and is portrayed as very powerful, having control over corporations, politicians, and religions, and being seemingly impossible to beat even with time travel and control over reality.

Most of the main entries are visual novels, in which the player can affect the outcome of the story through choices. In the Chaos;Head games and Chaos;Child, the player does this by controlling what types of delusions the player characters experience: the player can make them experience positive or negative delusions, or alternatively choose to let them stay in reality. Chaos;Child Love Chu Chu!! additionally uses a "yes/no" questionnaire the player character takes in in-game magazines to determine the plot's direction.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.famitsu.com/news/201611/02119696.html |title=『カオスチャイルド らぶchu☆chu!!』新たなトリガーも搭載されたシリーズ最新作！ |language=Japanese |date=2016-11-02 |magazine=Famitsu |publisher=Enterbrain |access-date=2016-11-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161102114005/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201611/02119696.html |archive-date=2016-11-02 |url-status=live}} In Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0, the player affects the outcome by using the player character's cell phone: in Steins;Gate, it is done by choosing to respond to certain messages, make phone calls, or taking out the phone at specific times, as this affects what information the player character learns and how he interacts with other characters; and in Steins;Gate 0, it is done by deciding whether or not to answer the phone at certain times. Robotics;Notes works similarly to Steins;Gate, but with the player using a tablet computer and its apps instead of a cell phone. Anonymous;Code has a "Hacking Trigger" where the player can interact with the game at any point to urge the protagonist to use his ability.

Due to the series' use of worldlines – alternative worlds – the developers make use of a correlation chart to track the events in the games' stories, which is updated whenever they create new entries in the series.

Abo noted that while all the games are part of one series, their sound have different images; comparing them to weather, he called Chaos;Head rainy, Steins;Gate cloudy, Robotics;Notes clear weather, and Chaos;Child stormy. He used the same process for all of them when composing the music: he started by reading the story, to understand the setting and characters as well as possible, and writing down notes about the games' emotional flow and the situations that occur throughout the stories. Using these notes, he constructed musical worldviews for the games, with a lot of weight on his first impressions. This approach, while slower than just designating songs to different areas of a game, allowed him to compose higher-quality songs with a better relationship to the games' worldviews. He was given a lot of freedom when working on the series, and was able to make the music he wanted to make for it, something he enjoyed greatly. Abo also got to compose each game's theme song, and was especially happy with Steins;Gate{{'s}} theme song, "Gate of Steiner", which he aimed to represent the entirety of the game with.{{cite web |url=http://www.vgmonline.net/takeshiabointerview/ |title=Takeshi Abo Interview: Behind the Science Adventures |author1=Jia, Oliver |author2=Greening, Chris |date=2015-09-15 |website=VGMO |access-date=2016-06-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150926012532/http://www.vgmonline.net/takeshiabointerview/ |archive-date=2015-09-26 |url-status=live }}

Originally, Occultic;Nine and Anonymous;Code were intended to be part of a separate series from Science Adventure. The former's original light novels were labeled as a separate Paranormal Science NVL series. Its visual novel adaptation and Anonymous;Code were referred to internally as part of the Science Visual Novel series, which was originally announced to be separate from Science Adventure, but has since been incorporated into the series.{{cite web |author=Token |date=2016-07-03 |title=【5pb.祭り2016】「ANONYMOUS;CODE」ステージでは"セーブ＆ロード"を用いる新システム「ハッキングトリガー」が明らかに！ |url=http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201607030022/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108115646/http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201607030022/ |archive-date=2017-01-08 |access-date=2017-01-08 |website=Gamer |publisher=Ixll Co. |language=Japanese}}{{cite web |title=History |url=http://www.kagaku-adv.com/history/ |access-date=2020-01-26 |publisher=Mages |language=Japanese}} Occultic;Nine was planned to be updated with new story content tying it more closely with Science Adventure{{cite magazine |date=2016-07-03 |title=本作のトリガーは"ハッキングトリガー"！？ 『アノニマス・コード』の見どころについて志倉千代丸氏が語る【5pb.祭り2016】 |url=http://www.famitsu.com/news/201607/03109939.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821174550/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201607/03109939.html |archive-date=2016-08-21 |access-date=2017-01-08 |magazine=Famitsu |publisher=Enterbrain |language=Japanese}} with an expanded release titled New World, but those plans were ultimately scrapped.{{cite web |author=Romano, Sal |date=12 September 2018 |title=Occultic;Nine coming to Switch |url=https://gematsu.com/2018/09/occulticnine-coming-to-switch |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180913002411/https://gematsu.com/2018/09/occulticnine-coming-to-switch |archive-date=13 September 2018 |access-date=12 September 2018 |website=Gematsu}}{{Cite web |date=2022-08-01 |title=Occultic;Nine: New World Officially Canceled - Noisy Pixel |url=https://noisypixel.net/occulticnine-new-world-officially-canceled/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221006161814/https://noisypixel.net/occulticnine-new-world-officially-canceled/ |archive-date=2022-10-06 |access-date=2022-09-12 |language=en-US}}

The Science Adventure series is partly the child of Infinity, a visual novel series primarily developed by the now-defunct company KID. It contains several references and similar themes, as well as a similar focus on science fiction elements. Some of the staff who worked with KID and the Infinity series, such as Naotaka Hayashi, Chiyomaru Shikura, and Takeshi Abo, came together to work on Chaos;Head, and later, the rest of the Science Adventure series.
