“One of the best visual novels I have ever played. Even after beating all the other endings, the true ending adds so much depth to the story, it changes your entire perspective on the first playthrough.”
“I originally played Chaos;Child in 2019 but never left a review. After replaying it recently, I just HAD to finally say something. This is easily the best SciADV game out there, even better than Steins;Gate. The drama,…”

“What looks like a coming-of-age story gradually reveals itself to be a tragedy. This visual novel pulls you into a fractured everyday life and keeps you questioning whether anything you believe can be trusted.”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“Chiyomaru! Release both Chu-Chu spin-offs on Steam and my life is yours!!”
— a player, Steam review · 45 hrs played“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…”
