Chaos;Child
Best Visual Novels on Xbox One
Chaos;Child is the sequel to Chaos;Head and the fourth entry in the Science Adventure series. Like Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, it’s connected to an anime show. Though unlike Pycho-Pass, this visual novel predates the show it is related to. As a result, gamers can jump right into the Chaos;Child visual novel without watching the anime. The anime, however, does reveal additional details on a few of the characters, but none of them are important to understanding the plot.
Chaos;Child delves into the psycho-suspense elements that the Science Adventure series has become famous for, but it also incorporates straight up horror elements as well. It’s disturbing stuff but a real page-turner of a story. Players will find the scares to be reminiscent of the ones found in Resident Evil VII: Biohazard.
The story follows Takuru Miyashiro, the president of his school’s newspaper, who experiences strange delusions each night. It’s up to the player to determine whether or not these delusions are good, bad, or neutral, and such choices shape the direction of the plot. Chaos;Child is only available in Japan for the Xbox One, but playable across all regions.
