Nintendo Switch: CHAOS;CHILD's Mapping Trigger and Delusion Trigger

String Theory: Getting to the Bottom of CHAOS;CHILD's Mapping Trigger and Delusion Trigger Systems


HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (July 25, 2022) -
Spike Chunsoft, Inc. today introduced details regarding the Mapping Trigger and Delusion Trigger systems in the Science Adventure series title CHAOS;CHILD.

CHAOS;CHILD and CHAOS;HEAD NOAH are part of the Science Adventure Series. This series also includes the STEINS;GATE and ROBOTICS;NOTES. In CHAOS;CHILD, the sequel to CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, players play as Takuru Miyashiro, a third-year high school student and head of the newspaper club. Takaru lost his parents 6 years ago in a massive earthquake and has been sleeping in a camper parked in Miyashita Park evacuation center. He is a bit of a pain in the ass, calling himself Normal and Right-Sider. Like Takumi in CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, Takaru also experiences delusions.

Mapping Trigger
This is the first time the Mapping Trigger system appears in the Science Adventure series. The player puts photos and notes of the case in the appropriate places according to the protagonist's deductions. As the story progresses, a large map for organizing cases appears on the Newspaper Club wall. By placing various items on this map, Takaru can organize the information. Related information is automatically connected by strings, which can be used to help organize the case. Use the map wisely to progress the story. Failure to paste the correct items on the map could cause the story to diverge in unexpected directions.

Delusion Trigger System
Both CHAOS; HEAD NOAH and CHAOS; CHILD utilize the Delusion Trigger system. The Delusion Trigger system allows players to select either a "positive delusion" or "negative delusion" during conversations with characters, and the corresponding "delusions" are created. By choosing "positive" or "negative", the hero will experience the chosen delusion. Also, selecting either one causes delusions to run wild, the story will change, and the player will encounter scenes that would not be seen on the regular path of the story. The player can proceed without selecting either and will move forward without a delusion.

CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and CHAOS;CHILD arrive in North America and Europe in the 2 games in 1 CHAOS;HEAD NOAH / CHAOS;CHILD DOUBLE PACK for Nintendo Switch on October 7, 2022.

Physical version published in European regions by Numskull Games.

About CHAOS;CHILD
October 2015, 6 years after the disaster known as the "Shibuya Earthquake." A series of strange incidents occur in the recovering Shibuya. A person who dies a mysterious death during a live internet broadcast. A person who dies while singing during a street performance. A body hanging and spinning from the ceiling of a love hotel. People started to realize. The date is the same as the incident that occurred in Shibuya 6 years ago. -Yes, this is the return of the New Generation Madness. But - there is one thing. Just one thing is different, a mysterious sticker left at the crime scene. No one knows yet that the mysterious sticker, which looks like a creepy sumo wrestler, will be the key to solving the NewGen case, a committee of 300 working in the dark. Awakening delusion manifestors. Their "fetal movement" will unleash the door of delusion once again.....

About CHAOS;HEAD NOAH
Takumi Nishijo is a second-year high school student on the verge of becoming a shut-in. "I have no interest in 3D." He lives surrounded by his beautiful girl figures in his room. He lives in Shibuya, where there has been a series of bizarre serial murders known as "New Generation Madness" (aka NewGen). The culprit has yet to be caught and has been causing unrest on the internet and television. One day, a gruesome image that seemed to predict the next NewGen killing was sent by a mysterious figure called "Shogun." The next day, on his way home from school, Takumi encounters a horrific crime scene, exactly as predicted. Before the corpse is a blood-soaked girl - Rimi Sakihata.
