The last game you mentioned caught my attention, what's the game about? The name sounds like something interesting.
It’s a psychological thriller visual novel set in Shibuya, Tokyo, where a series of bizarre murders begin happening, and you play a high school journalist trying to uncover the truth. It blends sci-fi, paranoia, murder mystery, and mind-bending hallucinations in a story full of twists, where your choices (and even your
delusions) affect how things play out. Think
Steins;Gate, but darker and way more disturbing.
It's also part of the Science Adventure series—same universe as
Steins;Gate. But you don’t need to play the others to enjoy it. Just be ready for psychological trauma. I would recommend playing the first game first though,
Chaos;Head Noah, just to familiarize yourself with the "Chaos" universe and its lore.
What makes
Chaos;Child hit even harder today is how it tackles themes like misinformation, paranoia, and the terrifying consequences of trying to ‘find the truth’ in an era where everyone believes they’re right. The story revolves around a character who sees himself as a crusader for justice, but his obsession with uncovering hidden truths starts to unravel reality itself. It really captures the modern fear of being wrong, of losing control in a world overloaded with information and fake narratives. You’ve got internet sleuths, cult-like thinking, mass hysteria—all the stuff that makes Twitter feel like a crime scene.
It explores what it means to be a ‘right-sider’—someone who believes they're on the right path even if it costs everything. In today’s world of echo chambers and digital tribalism, it feels scarily on-point.
