Chaos;Child has been available in English for a while now but was recently re-released on Switch as part of a double pack with its predecessor Chaos;Head NOAH. After making my way through Chaos;Head and finding a lot to like, I was curious how the follow-up would compare. Echoes of Madness Chaos;Child is a thematic sequel to Chaos;Head. It’s […]
