Chaos Child is an excellent visual novel that expands even more the Sci Adv universe with a suspense story that absorbs the player in the crimes of Shibuya.
While Chaos;Child doesn't do much to innovate the genre at all, I can't deny that the story, sound and art are incredible. Although, the Delusion trigger system feels pointless and changes next to nothing. This doesn't damage the story or any other aspect of the game, but is disappointing. Any fans of the series or graphic novels will thoroughly enjoy this game.

混沌之子是VN读者的必玩之作。太神奇了..虽然你不会期望与制作斯坦斯门的人不同。它与Steins Gate不在同一水平，但它仍然是一个坚实的体验。角色令人惊叹且令人难忘，故事非常好，有很多曲折，以后会让你大吃一惊。

A masterpiece of a visual novel that surpasses even Steins;Gate.
Please be wary that most of the official reviewers had skipped Chaos;Head, which is essential to understanding Chaos;Child. The 76 overall Metascore isn't representative of the game's quality. It's significantly better than that.

Chaos;Child is yet another great entry in the Science Adventure series, with a peculiar but believable cast of characters and a story that will unravel in the less expected ways. An easy recommendation for visual novel fans.
As someone who really enjoyed Chaos;Head, I really, really wanted to like Chaos;Child. And there are a number of things I do like about it: the cast is fun, the core mystery is gripping, and the level of gore, while not for the faint of heart, is on par with a Sion Sono flick (nasty and weird, but not wholly distasteful). However, its preoccupation with padding its length with the same tired tropes and non-consensual sexual fantasies makes it tough to recommend to any but the most devoted Science Adventure Series fans. Please 5pb, hire a copy editor.
A visual interactive novel in the same vein as Steins;Gate and almost equally brilliant. Deep and unique in every way.
Fans of the visual novel genre should definitely check out Chaos;Child. There are some pacing issues but the dark tale will eventually take hold of you, helped by its strong presentation and unexpected concepts.
If you’re at all lacking in patience then Chaos;Child isn’t the game for you. At its core, it’s a smart murder mystery with a cast of engaging, sympathetic characters, enough shocking, unpredictable twists and a story that will take you to some very dark places. But tackling the game can be like wading through treacle; almost as if the game doesn’t trust you to “get” it unless it explains everything in explicit, unnecessary, faintly patronising detail.
If you like the genre, give Chaos;Child a shot, it's a masterpiece that everyone should experience

I think Chaos;Child is better than Steins;Gate, and please, don't watch the anime, if you already did, don't pass this VN, it's a pretty bad adaptation for a game that's actually a masterpiece

This game is pretty good I think if you like these kind of games, you are going to enjoy it. The reviews are generally positive too just like I thought it should be.

Warning: Can contain some very minor spoiler but I don't think so.
I read Chaos:Head(8) and Steins:Gate(10) before this one.
There are many ups and downs with the story and characters. Some very clever plottwists but also very easy to spot mistakes in the script. Simple things like the MC not picking up his smartphone because he doesn't want to be disturbed but buying the same day a new smartphone because he lost his old one a couple days ago. If you read multiple things like these you are starting to wonder if the script was proof read at all. It's not a very big deal but it broke my immersion to much.
One plottwist I really liked. It established very subtle horror elements that effects the story in it's very core and reminded me about Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. A very good horror Visual Novel. But because of this twist it had effect on the development of an other character that i thought became badly written because of it.
What Chaos;Head did very good with the murders, Chaos;Child dropped the ball with. Two murders where so laughable and unreaIlistic I thought the MC suffered some delusion or psychological attack. After the plot decided this was not the case my immersion just broke and it took a while before I got absorbed in the story again.
The science aspect of the game is weak. just build on what Chaos:Head already was but presented, written to ambitious and became to supernatural and over the top in theme for my liking.
1 character route I found to be the best route. Another character route I found to be the worst route.
The common Route started strong but became boring around ch 3 to ch7. ch 8 through ch11 are strong and really picks the story up. The true routes first twist i really hated but slowly started to like the change the further I read. The true ending is pretty good. I Am a bit of a **** for that type of ending.
The cast Is also mixed but gets saved by 3 to 4 characters the MC included. For me it gets harder liking Japanese written characters because of the overuse of the typical arch types. But these characters got good backstory's supporting why they have those arch types.
Some people say the voice acting in this one was bad but I don't agree with that at all.
So yeah there you have it. I think Chaos;Child is good but not a master piece like Steins;Gate and got more lows than Chaos;Head so I rate this one a 7. What you like in the science adventure visual novels is purely subjective of course but If you want it like the more science driven Steins;Gate and the more paranoid/subtle like Chaos;Head this one probably lets you down a bit like it did with me.
