Beyond these, he seems to be quite afraid of interacting with people, exhibiting classic signs of social phobia such as extreme discomfort with making eye contact. This routine life is shattered when, upon coming home one day, he hears the sound of something being pounded into concrete. Looking over, he sees a pink-haired 'demon girl' , pinning a body to an alley wall with cross-shaped stakes.
The girl turns, smiles, and inexplicably calls him by name, at which point he runs. This scene is the third in a series of bizarre, gruesome murders called the "New Generation" murders. Takumi initially wants nothing to do with this, but a mysterious user known as 'Shogun' begins stalking Takumi, and seems intent on dragging him into the whole mess. Takumi then realizes that this mysterious man is working with the demon girl.
When the bodies continue to pile up, a whole bunch of weird super-powered girls show up and get closer to Takumi , a conspiracy between NOZOMI and several powerful organizations surfaces, and, in the center of it all, Shogun and the Demon Girl make their move, Takumi finds himself forced out of his solitary lifestyle, and into a mystery encapsulating all of Shibuya.
The player is given a choice between a good delusion happy, humorous, or H in nature or a bad delusion paranoid, violent or tragic in nature. For example, when Nanami visits and berates Takumi for not ever calling home, she takes a swig of soda without asking; the good delusion brings up the concept of an Indirect Kiss , prompting Takumi to compare it to a hentai game scene at which point it almost does turn into one , and the bad delusion involves Nanami taking a swig of coke, then gagging and coughing up blood and dying.
Takumi wonders why that happened, then remembers that he poisoned the coke beforehand. Typically these delusions have no direct influence on the story itself Takumi simply snaps out of it and the scene continues from where it left off , but seeing certain ones triggers flags that can influence which ending you see.
Many of these delusions involve blatant reference to anime or eroge tropes, as well as surprisingly clever foreshadowing. The game was made into an anime by Madhouse for the fall season, with an Xbox updated rerelease titled Chaos;Head NoAH released in February A fan translation patch for the game exists, but was taken down from the main site due to an agreement with Nitroplus, which unfortunately led to Development Hell as there's no localized version of the game yet, in fact no news after the "agreement" between the original fan translators and Nitroplus were given.
That being said, a current fan translation by Committee of Zero, a group dedicated to translating Science Adventure content that never came to the west, is currently working on translating the Chaos;Head NoAH version of the game as it is the canon entry that future titles rely on story wise. The game is the predecessor to Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes.
A Sequel , Chaos;Child , was released for the Xbox One in , with different cast of characters in the same setting of Shibuya set several years after the events of Chaos;Head. The anime adaptation started airing in January An official English version was released on Steam in January Community Showcase More. Follow TV Tropes.

This means that he can treat himself as one, which in turn makes him indestructible. Accidental Pervert : In the NoAH version of the game, Sena accidentally ends up on top of Takumi after he saves her from a building cave in, which results in him getting a hard on due to his natural instincts and because her sweat landed on him, completely not of his own volition.
Achievement System : There are a number of achievements in the story, ranging from completing chapters and reaching endings to finding every CG, to doing funny things like getting Hazuki to wear glasses at the start of the game. Adaptation Distillation : It takes around 25 to 30 hours to finish the game or at least the common route which is the canon events of the story.
The anime adaptation, on the other hand, is little short of six hours long. It hardly takes a genius to figure out how much of the story was left out in the adaptation. Adult Fear : Hatano experiences this when his baby daughter, Mana, dies for unknown reasons in the middle of the experiment on his wife taking care of her.
He grieves, but ultimately fights to keep his wife in the experiment to prevent her from having to grieve for Mana and acknowledge her death. This lasts for 2 years until the plug on the experiment is pulled. His wife commits suicide and his last remaining daughter is dragged off to a psychiatric ward by NOZOMI, losing him his entire family in one fell swoop.
Affectionate Nickname : Rimi always calls Takumi "Taku. All Just a Dream : Some of the positive delusions try to provide a Happy Ending by making it so that all the horrifying events were this. Takumi even lampshades the cliche in the first positive delusion of Chapter 7. But miraculously, there was nothing unpleasant about it. I had a surprisingly easy time accepting it when I heard it had been a dream.
And when I thought about it harder, things like DI-swords and making delusions real were simply impossible.
Darkest Hour : The Start of Chapter Shibuya is in ruins with thousands of people dead, half of the girls are incapcitated or being incapacitated Rimi has been captured, Nanami fatally wounded, Kozue and Sena are being mentally targeted, Yua and Ayase get trapped under rubble with Momose.
The only one that has a chance of stopping Noah II at this point is Takumi, who's only just awakened as a Gigalomaniac and doesn't have any leads on where to go or what to do.
Deconstructed Trope : Takumi often thinks about how wonderful it would be if you could have the power of leveling up with cheat codes and such in the real world, and when he finds out about DI-swords being able to grant you such a thing in reality, he's ecstatic because it means he can escape the paranoia and torment he's been experiencing.
But then he discovers in order to obtain a DI-sword, you need to undergo immense psychological strain and mental damage in order to be able to bend reality to your whims, and at that point you might be so broken as a person that you likely won't even be able to enjoy said power anymore. Not such a nice reality after all. Department of Redundancy Department : Serious-mode Yua has a habit of emphasizing sentences by repeating them several times in a row with slightly different phrasings.
Determinator : After being subjected to stalking, paranoia and many other terrifying events including his sister being kidnapped and held hostage, Takumi awakens as a Gigalomaniac and braves through many battles against the New Gen killers, one of which manages to literally break him and make him lose his sense of self, all to save Rimi and the other girls from Nozomi's clutches.
And he succeeds. Deus Sex Machina : Many of Takumi's positive delusions are about one of the girls randomly coming on to him for whatever reason. And the reason why it all happened was that Kozue got knocked unconscious during the earthquake. Didn't Think This Through : You would think after Takumi discovers that Yua was stalking him to investigate if he's the New Gen Culprit and knew that he frequented Cafe that he would avoid that place from here on out given his heavy paranoia.
But instead he goes there once again, and gets caught by Yua who tries to hold him there until the police arrive so they can arrest him. Disappeared Dad : Sena is searching for her missing father, who ran away after the mysterious deaths of her mother and little sister. She eventually finds him, only for him to sacrifice himself to save her from being murdered.
The Ditz : Rimi to a T, she doesn't understand Takumi's otaku tendencies, and doesn't take notice of any of the strange events going on around him such as Shogun appearing to him in an empty Scramble Crossing , or how many of the New Gen murders seem to revolve around him. It's revealed to just be an act, and that Rimi has been privy to everything that's been happening to Taku.
She's just been trying to prevent it as well as keep his mind off it to prevent him from being awakened. Don't Look at Me! Though there are three notable instances of when he uses this phrase. The first two times are near the end or beginning , the initial one being directed towards a mysterious gaze while the second one is for Rimi.
The third one is addressed at pretty much everyone around him after he was set up as an ESP. He rarely says this aloud, it's usually part of his inner monologue. Downer Ending : Endings A and B. In A, Norose is stopped and his machine destroyed, but Takumi chooses to let Rimi kill him so Shogun can live a little longer. Most of the NoAH endings are this, usually ending with Taku and one of the girls either dying or being rendered indisposed while Noah II takes over the world.
Dreaming of Things to Come : Steins;Gate and the NoAH version of Chaos;Head were written concurrently, and in NoAH it's revealed that Shogun once had a dream of his future self coming to visit him in a Time Machine who told him some things about his future, which really makes you wonder Driven to Suicide : Takumi tries to kill himself in Chapter 9 after finding out he's a clone and that his life is a lie, multiple times, but fails everytime.
Dystopia : What the Committee of wants to make, by enslaving all of humanity under a New World Order where they rule all of the planet, and where humanity is unaware that they are being enslaved, so they won't riot or rebel against it. Dysfunction Junction : It's pretty much a given that the Gigalomaniacs are pretty broken at least, since their powers come from their psychological issues.
It can only be done on a second playthrough, and unlike either Ending A or Ending AA, it can only be accomplished by making a specific decision or Delusion Trigger at 11 points in the game, and you're never told which ones are which.
This results in a recut of Ending A from Rimi's perspective, which is even more heartbreaking than the normal bad ending. The girls all survive, and Takumi finally breaks through his isolating mentality and forges a true connection, learning to embrace reality and to stop living in his fantasies. Elephant in the Room : When Rimi comes into Takumi's life, and after he realizes she's not a threat or someone out to kill him , he is constantly reminded of her bloody appearance at the scene of the third New Gen murder, and how everyone seems to suddenly remember her except for him out of nowhere.
However, every time he wants to question her about it, his social anxiety, paranoia and fear all overwhelm him and prevent him from being brave enough to confront her about the truth. He instead tries to believe in the shaky idea that she really wasn't at the scene of the murder and that it was just a delusion, as well as the belief that Rimi really is just a friend that he forgot who wants to help him. It's only when it's too late to go back that he's forced to face the truth. On the next day, it really happens Tame 8 Violent 1 Brutal 1.
