help Chaos;Head FAQ
Is Chaos;Head connected to Steins;Gate?
Yes, Chaos;Head is the first entry in the Science Adventure series from 5pb. and Nitroplus, which Steins;Gate followed in 2009. The two share a setting around Shibuya and recurring background connections, though the casts and stories are separate.
How does the delusion system in Chaos;Head actually work?
At key moments the game lets you trigger a positive or negative delusion for protagonist Takumi Nishijou, an isolated otaku living in Shibuya. Choosing to see a delusion changes what Takumi perceives and can open new scenes or endings within the branching narrative.
Can I play Chaos;Head in English?
For years the original 2008 PC version had no official English release, but the expanded Chaos;Head Noah was localized by Spike Chunsoft in 2022 for Nintendo Switch and Steam. Noah adds heroine routes and extra scenarios on top of the base story about the New Generation murders.
Is there an anime adaptation of Chaos;Head?
Yes, a roughly 12-episode anime adaptation aired in Japan in late 2008, shortly after the PC game launched. It condenses the visual novel's main route and is generally considered a weaker way to experience the story than the Noah version of the game.
