sci;adv - chiyomaru shikura/mages

this connected franchise of visual novels has been on the rise in the west since the success of the popular anime adaptation of steins;gate, an emotional story about a young university student who ends up playing god with the people around him without even realising through the creation of the first time machine, and bringing unwanted attention to himself in the form of secret world organisations who intend to make use of his creation for ulterior reasons. while steins;gate is a masterpiece in itself the other visual novels that are all part of the same universe are special in their own ways. chaos;head and chaos;child take place before and after the events of steins;gate along with robotics;notes and features horrific tales of delusions becoming real through the power of children with gigolomaniac powers. all of these novels connect to one another, though explaining so would spoil the mystery of how.
