Alright, this one.
I picked up "Chaos;Child" in a steam sale because I enjoyed "Steins;Gate" so much, but when I looked into it, "Chaos;Head" is highly recommended to fully enjoy the former. And I have. Thoughts?
I definitely liked it, but unless "Chaos;Child" is a 9 or above and if it really requires playing this I don't think I'd reccomend this game to most people. I kind of love the supporting cast, but they all pretty much have one or two scenes that just dumps their entire tragic backstory onto the reader and they don't get much more development than that. As with many others who've played this Takumi was a huge highlight. His voice actor really sells the total nervous wreck thing and damn, can he scream. I didn't like some of the really messed up scenes with him (there are a few scenes where Takumi plays out sexual-things-with-his-sister and rape fantasies in his head) but I was pretty used to sciadv's handling of uncomfortable topics after S;G and S;G0. Other than those dark spots he is great! He alone puts me on edge during a lot of the tensest scenes, he's almost a one-man fuel source for the game's horror moments. I may be overrating this a tad because it is very, VERY similar to my favorite game of all time The World Ends With You, but I don't really care too much? Same thing with the supporting cast, they may not be the most interesting aspects of the story but I just think Kishimoto Ayase is cool ok
