Chaos;Head Noah - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Times Square in New York City is a happening place with throngs of people, heavy traffic, and bright lights that never dim. Times Square got nothing on Tokyo's Shibuya. The amount of foot traffic in front of the JR Hachiko station exit in Shibuya is the heaviest in the world. The sheer amount of pedestrians traipsing around at any minute is alarming and perhaps a reminder that there's a lot of humanity walking the Earth.

Chaos;Head Noah takes place in Shibuya and follows the story of a high school student named Takumi Nishijo. As the game kicks off, we learn that strange deaths have taken place in Shibuya which have stymied the local authorities. Group teenage suicides and an odd reverse caesarean performed on a young man are the introductory horrors but more are on the way. Takumi's baptism into the death trade begins online where he chats with someone named Shogun who seems to have foreknowledge of the gruesome events. The next day, Takumi runs into a crime scene where he sees two corpses that match the images presented by Shogun in their online chat. Fearful of what he might have stumbled onto, Tak searches for answers and finds allies over the course of the narrative as the murders mount. Takumi also endeavors to stay a few steps ahead of the killer.
