    Ну что, готовы ли вы узнать что такое Chaos;Child. В первую очередь нужно понять что происходят события на мировой линии SG 1.048596 с тру энда новеллы Steins;Gate. Как и все новеллы в КагакуАДВ Чайлд может показаться в начале очень странным, но не стоит заблуждаться, ваше ожидание окупится более чем сполна. Планка качества Чайлда если не самая высокая, то явно на уровне S;G.

    Писать про сюжет смысла нет уже в третий раз, так как подобные твисты и датфилы нужно пережить каждому лично, не по рассказам и уж тем более не по отзывам. Однако хочу заметить, тут самая жесткая судьба протагониста среди всей серии. Графика для новеллы просто сногсшибательна, на данный момент лучшая во всей КагакуАДВ. В самые крушиал моменты новеллы начинает играть Di Sword of Sadness от великого Takeshi Abo и вместе с происходящим на экране игрок определенно теряет голову и желание играть дальше пока данный ост не закончитсяплавно перейдет в Visible Essence.

    Расписывать что либо еще нет желания, сюжет должен знать каждый кому интересно культурное достояние человечества и что в нем будет через 50-100 лет, Чайлд врывается туда на самом острие Ди-меча, 1010    … Expand

    Chaos Child is a must play for VN readers. It's amazing.. though you wouldn't expect differently from the people that made Steins Gate. It isn't in the same level as Steins Gate is, but it's still a solid experience. The characters are amazing and unforgettable and the story is incredibly good with tons of twists that will blow your mind later on.

The thing is that I personally enjoyed the side routes and true ending more than the common route (which covers the 2/3 of the game). It's very good as well, dont get me wrong, but what didn't satisfy me as much as it should is the ending. The end of that route feels weird but all the others (except Kazuki's by my opinion), and the true ending, are great. Also, the soundtrack is, as you would expect, great and based on the Steins Gate games I have played, I can safely tell that the SciAdv universe's games have all incredibly grear soundtrack. Also, the artstyle is amazing as well. Overall, the main theme of the game and the events that occur aren't as scientific as the other games can get, but it's still great. I would highly recommend it especially if you are a VN reader.… Expand

    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

    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.

    Although prone to tired Japanese VN tropes at times, the story features enough twists and turns to keep things interesting.

    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 sucker 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.    … Expand

    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.

    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。

    Chaos;Child is a deviously clever visual novel from start to finish. It plays the reader like a fiddle by presenting all the ingredients for a mystery novel, but without some of the necessary tools to solve it. A megalomaniac mystery fan will look for a logical solution finding none as the important pieces are hidden away from the protagonist, and by extension, the reader. It might seem insane and risky, but it works extremely well and creates a memorable read that, while perhaps annoying for some due to certain choices made during the prose, will impress many others. Like most visual novels, it is not a crowd-pleaser, but for the intended audience it is a must read, and one that will not easily be forgotten.

    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.

    And interesting adventure with lots of hours to think about its deep plot, unstable characters and a great environment.
