Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked)Īs much as we enjoy Chaos Head Noah's story, it isn’t nearly as strong as later entries in the series. Getting all the endings will take you around 30 hours, depending on how long it takes you to read, but it will become increasingly difficult to put the story down once it builds up momentum. Subsequent playthroughs let you skip through scenes you’ve already seen, speeding up what could have been an unbearably lengthy process. Like many games in the Science Adventure series, you’ll need to play through multiple times to get all the endings and fully unravel the mystery. Through his online game, he is sent pictures of the third of these killings the day before it happens, triggering events where he gets dragged, kicking and screaming and complaining the whole time, into a world of supernatural murder and chaos.
The story follows the “New Gen” murders, a string of bizarre and gruesome killings in the Shibuya district of Tokyo where Takumi lives. Considering this is the main way to access the branching narrative of Chaos Head Noah, it would have been better to have this explained slightly better.

Thankfully this release has made it much easier to see when delusions are available than the original game, though it does rely on digging into the menu to see how to control their outcome. Most of the time it doesn’t matter which you choose, but how many times you trigger these delusions and which ones you pick at key moments in the game can determine which of the multiple endings you see.
Alternatively, you can let Takumi stay grounded in reality and deal with the world as it is, meaning he won't have a delusional episode at all. That forms the core of Chaos Head Noah's gameplay - you can choose whether Takumi will experience a positive delusion, which will usually involve some comical or lightly-erotic outcome, or a negative delusion, which will lead to a violent or painful scene. He is moody, sullen, and unbearable to be around, but he is surprisingly well-written.ĭeep down, Takumi is just a kid with PTSD who has been left to his own devices, creating a delusional state where he often can’t tell fantasy from reality. He has little interest in real-life relationships, instead preferring the company of his multiple figurines and the 2D women of his hentai games. He lives out his days in a storage container he’s converted into his Base, playing online games until the wee hours of the morning, and going to school as little as he can. Speaking of which, Takumi (the main character) is the stereotyped otaku we’ve all seen before in JRPGs and visual novels. All the girls keep their clothes on, even if they do sometimes find themselves in unusual poses and situations thanks to Takumi’s delusional mind. This is unusual because this isn’t a “sexy” visual novel it contains graphic violence and intense horror themes, but nothing worse than you’d find in many horror games or even in other visual novels like Doki Doki Literature Club.

There has been some controversy around Chaos Head Noah - the PC version was initially banned on Steam before being suddenly reinstated hours before it went live on the platform. Both games are available individually on eShop or bundled together in one text-heavy physical Double Pack. They fare slightly better in handheld, with the Switch proving once again to be the perfect console for visual novels. Chaos Head Noah is a remaster of the original, which includes HD upgraded visuals that look sharp and crisp either in docked or handheld mode. Spike Chunsoft has done the localisation work to bring this game and its indirect sequel Chaos Child to the rest of the world.

What plays out is a very good, if narratively inconsistent, story that is gripping and disturbing in equal measures.ĭespite being the first game in the Science Adventure series which includes the excellent Steins Gate, this is the first time that Chaos Head Noah has had an official English release. Unfortunately for Takumi Nishijou, the protagonist of Chaos Head Noah, he’s stuck in the latter.
Either they wake up in a world where all their classmates are beautiful anime girls who want to jump their bones, or they find themselves in a twisted supernatural murder mystery. There are two ways that life goes for visual novel protagonists. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)
