This is an excellent visual novel that greatly exceeds it's predecessor. While I enjoyed the mystery and the MC's story in Chaos;Head, I thought it kind of dropped the ball when it came to most of the heroines who I felt were kind of 2 dimensional and forgettable. This VN has the same kind of compelling mystery that you explore across the several routes, with lots of well-executed twists along the way, but the characters are also really great. They are well-written and lots of time is spent on their development, and that makes the game's mystery elements even better, because you really care about all the characters. It doesn't quite match Stein's;Gate, but it doesn't miss by much.
Introduction Disclaimer: Download Committee Of Zero Patch for the best translation experience This review Contains no spoilers and acts as a Before you Buy for this game I've been on a streak to play all of science adventure games, this is the 6th entry i played on the series. I have played Chaos;Head Noah and to the people who ask if they need to play it before the Chaos;Child game, Yes It is very essential to play chaos;head, The plot itself of chaos;child takes place after what happened in chaos head noah, the characters, and the story may be different in chaos child but it needs you to know the mechanics of chaos;head noah to know what is happening in chaos child This game is what i call the best sequel to an already existing ip called chaos child, in terms of art, story, the characters it beats the first game in mostly everything, except the main characters which i will talk about later in this post Review : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story/Plot The story at first started in a great way, from like every other science adventure series do, In the story we follow the character takuru miyashiro (not to be mistaken with takumi nishijou) follows the case of what is said to be the return of the new generation madness (this plot also played big role in chaos head noah) but after some time the case becomes very dangerous for our main character taku, the story itself is great and the way it ends is heartbreaking it's like every other science adventure games, once you complete the game you will feel empty like you want more from this series. though i do think the story is great it is not perfect, it ends with still some questions left to be desired, for that i do recommend reading chaos;child children's revive, it acts as a sequel to this game. Story/Plot score: 9.3/10 Pacing Unline all the SciAdv Games the pacing actually starts off great, but sill after 5-6 hours of the game it will go to slow burn, but in a way it pays off at the end like every other SciAdv games, and being played other 5 SciAdv games it feels good, Before you buy this game you will need a lot of patience and after that you will feel great that you read it Characters This game nailed it in this area, i thought Robotics notes and had the greatest character cast and having greatest chemistry but i think i was wrong, I didn't expect it but this game has probably the greatest cast of characters if not one of the best, still i think it's on par with robotics;notes, and personally (Side note i think this game has great voice acting too, never once i felt like the voice acting was out of place maybe it won't matter as it's a visual novel but it does bring life to all the characters, loved the dedication) Takuru Miyashiro At the end of the game this game in terms of best character flew up to my top 5 Main characters right next to Okabe Rintaro, He's a great character and his development in the end was very great but also in a way sad , (i can't compare him to Takumi nishijou in many ways because in a way i don't fully love takumi nishijou but at the same time i think the game he was in was what made him the perfect flawed character in chaos head noah), when something happens out of the ordinary i love the fact that he questions it rather than just forgetting about it, he is what i call a respectable man. Takeshi Shinjo He is revealed later down the story but he is a great character, and a person who i will look up to in future, The way his character was introducted was a great way to make amends to the previous game's character, maybe should've gotten a bit more of screen time, he is another character who i can also call a respectable man Onoe Serika I didn't fully understand her as much but after the true ending i felt her character as great, She is always there for takuru and she does light up the mood when she's there Kurusu Nono I liked her as much as serika, in many cases she acts like a grown up and tries to stop takuru many times and even in her route i felt more respect for her, still great character. Hinae Arimura She's great character but not as great as onoe and nono are, but still when i read her route she felt like a great friend to be around, when she appears in the game it gives some of the same vibes as onoe, it feels more refreshing Hana Kazuki At first i didn't really feel her vibes but when i entered her character route, I started to understand her more and at the end of her route it improved my thoughts on her in positive way. Character Score: 9.6/10 Routes: In total there are around 5 endings all having different prespectives and their own character route, and after you obtain the 4 endings you will get the 5th ending which is the true one, (Personally i love this, I didn't love how robotics notes made the routes system), I will not talk about the routes themselves because i already talked about them in characters section and it might contain spoilers if i tell what i think about the routes Routes Score: 10/10 Art/Style & Voice Acting: It does exceptionally well in this category, It beats chaos head and robotics notes elite art, but still For me Steins;gate had the perfect art style, and in voice acting it nailed it, even more than steins;gate which i think is the greatest visual novel. Overall I think of this as the greatest Sequel and the second best game in the whole sciadv series sparring with steins gate, This game made reading choas head noah feel more good, there are many refrences to chaos head noah in chaos child, In best way i can say, Chaos Child Makes Choas;Head Feel like a conspiracy theory and with a great feeling. Anyways This has become a long post and The last point i want to make is that should you buy the game? And to that i will say, if you are okay with gruesome story and are okay with slow burn games then yes this is for you, The journey will be slow but once you read the whole thing You will love it at the end Overall Score: 10/10 - Masterpiece
While I do think Chaos;Head is essential to play in order to play this, Chaos;Child excels even more as a story for me. At certain points, this was honestly the most engaged I've ever been with any visual novel. The newgen killings in this game are just as disturbing as in Chaos;Head, but end up hitting even closer to home. There's also other aspects of horror and discomfort that are done super well in this VN, similar to Chaos;Head. I loved the characters in this so much, especially Arimura and Senri, who are some of my all time favorites now. The music is also really good, with a few standout songs for me. The only flaw I really have with C;C is that there's a bit too many plot twists that don't land. While there's a solid amount that DO land and are really good, there's also 2-3 that I was super iffy on that just felt a little unnecessary, and these occur *really* late in the game. This isn't guaranteed to apply to everyone, but I do think that could cause disappointment.
We live in a third-dimensional plane. We can see planets, galaxies, suns—hundreds of billions of galaxies—photographed universes. We live in this incredible space-time continuum, and here we are on this planet. Einstein’s physics show there are at least 12 dimensions. Now, top scientists and billionaires are saying this reality is a kind of false hologram, an artificial projection. Computers are even detecting tension points where it seems to be artificially projected, with gravity bleeding into this universe—what they call dark matter. So it’s as if we’re like a thought or dream, a wisp inside some computer program, or in the mind of God. And the evidence for this keeps coming out. Our third dimension is a kind of launchpad. The math shows that this level is the primal sea where everything happens, with Earth acting like an egg full of potential. But there are sub-levels beneath the third dimension that resonate with dark and destructive things, always trying to push upward. At the same time, the best of our species already reaches into higher consciousness—the fifth, sixth dimension. Yet there’s this big war trying to destroy humanity, because humanity has free will. Evil is allowed to contend with us, not just good. Some people are psychically and genetically wired to interface with this vast, multi-dimensional universe. And no energy is ever truly destroyed; it continues on. Our very bodies are like communal organisms—made up of the memories, victories, failures, loves, and struggles of all our ancestors. But it’s more than genetics—it’s like an electrochemical antenna, proven to connect with higher and lower dimensions. So, our “bodysuit” isn’t just ours. It carries the strength, will, love, and struggles of our families and ancestors. That’s why we can experience so much and see in so many directions. The elites are obsessed with transcendence and eternal life, but not all of them are the same—some are good, some are bad, most are a mix. Ancient religions and shamans have always said the same thing: there are good entities and bad ones. The good don’t impose themselves on us—they empower. The bad, though, want to dominate, so they organize for power. Across cultures—from Tibet to Mesoamerica, Egypt to the Druids—you find the same descriptions: dark entities, often appearing like elves or horned beings, and also benevolent ones who rarely interfere unless asked. The truth is, powerful consciousness doesn’t want to control others—it wants to help them grow. Evil, though, is more seductive, faster, easier. The elites believe contact isn’t happening on this third-dimensional plane—it’s interdimensional. Gates, not ships, are how beings travel here. They believe humanity is in a race: to merge with machines, transcend, and leave behind what they call a failed species. But this is a false vision. They project their own darkness onto humanity, instead of realizing life is a test meant to build us up. Evil’s message is always the same: demoralize, stop having children, believe humans are bad, and that the world is better without us. It’s an agenda. For example, Google was founded with the goal of creating an artificial system—a hive-mind superintelligence built from the thoughts of billions of people connected to the internet. Our very consciousness would feed into it, building a computer with predictive powers like a crystal ball. But the danger is clear: once you know the future, you can manipulate the present to control it. That would mean the end of true free will and the rise of a hive-mind AI. Scripture warns that pharmakeia—ritual drugs and sorcery—always lead to destruction. Evil enters quickly through those doors, while good takes longer to reach because it honors free will. Like Yoda said, the dark side is quicker, easier, more seductive. But humans are incredibly powerful beings. Our brains can tune into the lowest dimensions and the highest. We’re like hive organisms, living only moments in cosmic time, transmitting our experiences upward in a greater chain of life. The elites know this, and they’re trying to keep us from unlocking that potential. They turn instead to rituals, drugs, and machines to connect with lower entities who promise them power. But those forces want to consume us, not uplift us. At the end of the day, humanity is at a crossroads. We’re being tested. Do we align with the divine free will that builds us up, or do we fall into the trap of a system that drains us and leads to destruction? That’s the decision before our species.
