About CHAOS;CHILD
Chaos;Child places you in Shibuya during October 2015, six years after a massive earthquake that nearly leveled the city. As Takuru Miyashiro, you investigate a fresh wave of murders that echo the terror of the past, while supernatural powers called gigalomaniacs begin to surface.
The game is a visual novel from the Science Adventure series that blends mystery, horror, and a “delusion” system that lets you shift between nightmarish and hopeful realities. Your choices affect relationships and lead to six distinct endings, each revealing deeper plot layers.
