2025 Editor's Rating

Having now completed this rather challenging game, I can share my thoughts on its intricacies and narrative depth.

Introduction

The fourth installment in the Science Adventure series, following "CHAOS;HEAD NOAH," "STEINS;GATE," and "ROBOTICS;NOTES," this title marks a six-year leap since the previous entry. Set against the backdrop of a revitalizing Shibuya, players are introduced to a fresh psycho suspense narrative entrenched in "Fetal Movement."

Note: This application is compatible with iOS 9 or later, requiring devices such as iPhone 5s, iPod touch 6th generation, iPad Air, or iPad mini2 and later. It currently supports Japanese only, with no plans for Korean support.

Features

  • A thought-provoking psycho suspense adventure game centered around the theme of "Delusion."
  • The storyline unfolds in Shibuya in 2015, six years post-"CHAOS;HEAD NOAH."
  • Includes six unique heroines, each offering distinct endings.
  • A compelling exploration of reality and delusion activated by the Delusion Triggers.
  • A detective-style element enhanced by the Mapping Triggers.
  • Fully voiced characters add to the immersive experience.
  • The game boasts impressive content, with over 30 hours of total playtime.
  • An accessible Universal app compatible with both iPhone and iPad.
  • Supports iCloud for data save and sharing across devices.
  • Integration with Game Center enhances competition and community engagement.

Story Overview

The plot unfolds six years after a devastating earthquake devastated Shibuya. Set in October 2015, players are immersed in a city gradually recovering from its tragic past.

Players follow Takuru Miyashiro, president of the Hekiho Academy Newspaper Club, who has an insatiable appetite for gossip. Upon uncovering grisly murder cases—including a man executed via live stream and a woman killed during a street performance—he and his peers are drawn into a chilling mystery that echoes events from six years prior. The resurgence of Gigalomaniacs—individuals with the ability to actualize their delusions—hint at a terrifying return to chaos.

Game Mechanics Impacting Narrative

  • Delusion Triggers: As Takuru navigates his experiences, he occasionally succumbs to delusions. Players can influence the narrative by opting for either a "negative" or "positive" delusion, ultimately affecting events down the line.
  • Mapping Triggers: Players engage with a map interface to connect incidents to specific locations. Correctly pinning these events could be crucial, as inaccuracies may lead to unforeseen consequences within the story.
