Before anything, for the best experience, I strongly recommend you to play CHAOS;HEAD NOAH before playing this game. CHAOS;HEAD NOAH is the prequel to this game. This game frequently references events and concepts that took place in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH. Second, it's important to note that using the E key to skip lines, just like how you could in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, is a life saver for those seeking 100% completion!

CHAOS;CHILD is an absolute masterpiece. CHAOS;CHILD is part of the Science Adventure series, and I have got to say, it's one of the best entries in the series. My enjoyment of CHAOS;CHILD exceeded almost all other games in the series I have played up until now. The story is amazing.


- CHAOS;CHILD is a thematic sequel to CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, which is the first entry in a larger game series known as the Science Adventure Series. CHAOS;CHILD is set 6 years following the events of CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, in 2015, but the story actually begins during the 2009 Shibuya Earthquake that occurred in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH.

- CHAOS;CHILD revolves around a new cast of characters that weren't in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, however, there are a few characters from CHAOS;HEAD NOAH that make appearances as side characters either through the online world or in person throughout the story.

- Both CHAOS;CHILD and CHAOS;HEAD NOAH take place in Shibuya, however CHAOS;CHILD takes place in different settings within Shibuya.

- The plot in CHAOS;CHILD is completely different than CHAOS;HEAD NOAH.

- There are positive and negative delusion triggers in CHAOS;CHILD just like how there were in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH. It's been completely remastered, and looks so much more beautiful in CHAOS;CHILD. There's also a new type of delusion trigger type that rarely appears called the "More" trigger which is white. Use it and find out what it does, hehehe.

To sum it up: CHAOS;CHILD takes place within the same universe as CHAOS;HEAD NOAH. C;C just takes place 6 years ahead of C;HN and C;C features new characters, settings, a plot and a new delusion trigger type that weren't a part of C;HN.


In CHAOS;CHILD, the New Generation Madness (that you may recall from CHAOS;HEAD NOAH) makes a comeback for a second time in history with....sumo stickers decorated all around parts of Shibuya?! Orphan Hekiho Academy Newspaper Club President Miyashiro Takuru ("Taku") wants to get to the bottom of it and figure out why these gruesome murders have returned. At the same, new gigalomaniacs with the ability to wield Di-Swords (CHAOS;HEAD NOAH references), have returned!

In this story, for some reason, Kurusu Nono - Taku's older stepsister who is also an orphan like Taku and the vice president of the newspaper club, seems to urge Taku to stay away from the investigation of the return of the New Gen Madness. And Taku's memories of his childhood best friend Serika Onoe are... pretty sharp, Taku has so many memories of being with her and Taku knows so much about her, for as long as he can remember...but his knowledge of Serika is just not that sharp for some reason. Play to find out the answers to Kurusu and Serika's mysteries and to unveil the secret behind the return of the New Generation Madness as well as the appearances of these new Gigalomaniacs and the sumo stickers!


First off, I want to note that I experienced CHAOS;CHILD using the Committee of Zero fan patch ("CHAOS;CHILD Improvement Patch") [sonome.dareno.me] in order to read more accurate translations!

Wow, this story is absolutely amazing!

My enjoyment of CHAOS;CHILD was x100 times more than CHAOS;HEAD NOAH. CHAOS;HEAD NOAH failed to keep me hooked for a while, but CHAOS;CHILD had me in its grasp for the entire story.

Not only is the story of CHAOS;CHILD rich, but the shocks/twists hidden inside of it are a lot and they're quite strong! I haven't been this shocked in other Science Adventure series visual novels I have read up until now! Who would have thought that Sakuma (Taku's dad) would be an antagonist and that our own teacher Wakui would be a member of the Committee of 300! And who would have thought that Onoe is just a delusion that Taku created!

It's sad that Taku's wish during the 2009 earthquake was to feel pride by showing the whole world a huge accomplishment (or that he's basically a right-sider for doing something right) so he created Onoe just to accomplish that. It's very sad knowing that Onoe's purpose was to just make that wish of Taku's a dream come true by creating the "game". All of those people died just for Onoe to satisfy Taku.

I have to be honest though, for the first time in a Science Adventure series visual novel, I prefer the common route ending over the true route ending. I honestly prefer being together with Onoe after all we went through, like how it was suggested at the end of the common route ending rather than Taku's preference of a resolution to Onoe's story which is letting her live a normal life (like how he intended when he "ended" "her" with his Di-Sword near the end of the common route ending), acting like he doesn't know Onoe and vise vera, being separated..you know, basically not "clinging to the girl he loves forever", as described by himself.

As much as I loved the common route ending, I also absolutely loved the ending to Nono's route. Seeing her inner identification crisis resolved was an amazing story. I was happy to see Senri accept herself for who she is and atoning for her identity fraud at the end of her route.

Here are some extra notes I took feel free to read them:

- This Science Adventure series entry has a lot of "AHHHHHHHH"-like screams in it, the most I've seen up until now in the series, but that's fine, I love hearing the screams like a psychopath, lmao.
- Arimura is into homosexual male literature. She's into it so badly that it turns her on.
- I loved how Hana's route brought us back together with Takuru from CHAOS;HEAD NOAH.
- Itou and Kurosato-san are so reminiscent to Misumi and Sena Aoi from CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, don't you think?
- The world being both lies and truths such a true quote and lesson from the Arimura route.
- That credit roll before the end of the true route almost had me there, haha, I almost thought the true route ended on a cliff hanger.
- I love the sprite, CG and animation quality in CHAOS;CHILD. It's quite an upgrade compared to the quality that CHAOS;HEAD NOAH had.
- ITOU IS AN ALIEN!!!! IT'S GOT TO BE CANON! THE COMMON ROUTE BAD ENDING IS PROOF! THAT WAS NOT A DELUSION!


1. I loved the TV shutting sound effect that played once a delusion ended in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, but unfortunately, no sound effect plays in CHAOS;CHILD when a delusion is over. I really wish we had some sort of sound effect that played once the delusion is over.

2. Similar to a pain point I had in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, I wish we could skip entire chapters after reaching the common route ending of CHAOS;CHILD. This would make it easier to reach chapters about the girls. For instance, if we had to do something in chapter 3 to reach girl A's ending which begins after chapter 6, then allow us to skip chapters 4, 5 and 6 entirely. This would be more convenient and faster than using the E key to skip.
