Chaos;Head is an ambitious start to the "Semicolon in the Middle" series (yeah I know it's called SciADV shut up). With its subversive style of writing that attempts to play around with familiar visual novel conventions, and its meticulousness in both its foreshadowing and implementation of Sci-Fi elements into the plot.
It tells a dark story of broken individuals haunted by the worlds within their minds, as they live their lives trying to cope with trauma, and perhaps even find comfort through connections with others who understand their pain, in a reality that is seemingly out to get them.
And while it can be a bit rough to read through at times (mainly due to some pacing issues in the NoAH routes, and the protagonist being kinda unbearable), it is still an impressive start to one of the genre's hallmark franchises that is worth checking out for its grim atmosphere and interesting cast of characters.

Also Desire Blue Sky is still better than A Will shaking and crying rn...
