Chaos;Head NoAH is a horror mystery visual novel in the Science Adventure series developed by 5pb. It is an expanded re-release of Chaos;Head, featuring redrawn widescreen background graphics and illustrations, and most notably several expansions to the original game's story including entire new heroine routes.
Chaos;Head NoAH was originally released for the Xbox 360 in Japan on February 26, 2009, followed by ports to the PlayStation Portable and mobile devices across 2010 and 2012. A PlayStation 3 port was released on November 22, 2012, heavily edited in order to receive a CERO D age rating. An updated Nintendo Switch port of the game based on the edited PlayStation 3 version was released in Japan on February 24, 2022, bundled alongside its thematic sequel Chaos;Child as the "Chaos; Double Pack", featuring upscaled 1080p HD versions of all of its existing graphical assets.[1]
On March 10, 2022, publisher Spike Chunsoft announced that an English version of the Chaos; Double Pack, featuring the first-ever official English translation of Chaos;Head NoAH, would be releasing on October 7, 2022.[2] At their Anime Expo 2022 panel on July 2, Spike Chunsoft also announced that a PC port of Chaos;Head NoAH would be releasing on Steam on the same date as the Nintendo Switch version.[3]
The release version of the official English translation is of noticeably-poor quality, with internally-inconsistent terminology, names, and phrases, major grammatical errors, confused tense (i.e. translators writing an event which happened in the past as though it happened in the present), and no distinction between spoken and non-spoken dialogue, among many other issues.[4][5]
