[Anime]CHAOS;HEAD

Chaos;Head primarily takes place in Shibuya, Tokyo. Many of Shibuya's physical locales like its busy pedestrian scramble and the Loft building appear in the game although their names have been altered slightly. Some notable Internet websites like Wikipedia, 2channel, YouTube, Google, and Yahoo! also show up in the game with modified names as We-Key Pedophiria, @-channel, MewTube, Deluoode, and Taboo!.

As the title implies, psychological themes relating to one's psyche and mind plays a large role in Chaos;Head. Delusions and the method of projecting one's own delusions onto the physical world, or onto someone else's visual system, is a key driver behind the story. Other scientific themes such as the concepts of matter, antimatter, and the Dirac sea are also brought up.

Chaos;Head's story is set in 2008 in Shibuya and is centered around Takumi Nishijo, a high school student at the private Suimei Academy, and the strange events that have recently occurred in the Shibuya area. The two main events being referenced by the media and the public at large are referred as the "New Generation" events. The first event, called the "Group Dive", occurred on September 7 when five high school students jumped to their deaths off of a high tower. The second event, called the "Pregnant Man", occurred on September 19 when a male university student was found dead with a thirty-two week old fetus incised within his abdomen.

[Spoiler warning! You can read below part by dragging your mouse over below part] The story begins on September 28 with Takumi talking to an online friend called Grim. Grim is trying to bring Takumi up to speed about the recent New Generation events since Takumi is not interested in local or international news. A person named Shogun joins the chat room midway through Grim and Takumi's conversation, but he does not respond despite being greeted by both Grim and Takumi. Grim sends Takumi a poorly drawn image of a person getting stabbed with several stakes, jokingly claiming that it's an image of the murder before leaving the chat room. After Grim leaves the chat room, Shogun finally starts to talk. He sends Takumi a barrage of several realistic image links, with the stakes pinned as in Shogun's, depicting a murder. The next day, as Takumi was heading home after spending the afternoon at an internet cafe, he comes across the same scene that he witnessed yesterday in Shogun's pictures. He sees a male body nailed to the wall as well as a pink-haired girl dressed in a Suimei Academy uniform, covered in blood. Takumi runs away screaming as soon as he comes to his senses over the situation at hand. The story progresses from here with Takumi trying to avoid getting involved with Shogun and other New Generation events as he is slowly caught in a grander scheme's wheels of motion.
