Trigger Warning: Controlling Positive and Negative Developments with CHAOS;HEAD NOAH's Delusion Trigger

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (June 22, 2022) - Spike Chunsoft, Inc. today introduced details regarding the Delusion Trigger system in the Science Adventure series title CHAOS;HEAD NOAH.

CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and CHAOS;CHILD are part of the Science Adventure Series. This series also includes the STEINS;GATE and ROBOTICS;NOTES games. CHAOS;HEAD is considered the first entry in the series, making it the perfect starting point into the long-running and much-beloved Science Adventure series not only for visual novel fans, but also for players new to the genre.

Use Your Delusion
For newcomers, one of the key elements in the game system to understand is the "Delusion Trigger" system. This system transforms the game from a basic visual novel into a multi-ending thriller.

The "Delusion Trigger" appears in both "CHAOS;HEAD NOAH" and "CHAOS;CHILD".

As you progress through the scenarios, you'll often encounter scenes where you can choose between a "positive delusion" and a "negative delusion."

In this situation, depending on how a message is read, the story will change and the hero's delusion will run amok. If you choose a positive delusion, the hero enters into a happy fantasy where he might see himself in a relationship with a girl. Still, by choosing a negative delusion, he will enter a tragic fantasy where someone dies.

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;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.

Just one thing is different, a mysterious sticker left at the crime scene.
