Richard Eisenbeis at Kotaku called the game excellent, and a good addition to the series. He enjoyed the story, calling the mystery "thrilling", and saying that the "disturbing and intriguing" murders were one of the best aspects of it. He also enjoyed the game's characters, calling them deep and layered, and said that watching them try to outwit others' powers and using their own to the fullest was another highlight. He liked how the developers had gone "all in" when making the branch routes; the thing he liked the most about them was the consistency of the characters and their motivations between different routes. He found the game to be very long, however, taking him over 70 hours to play through, which he said could be a potential flaw.[6]

Sales edit

The Xbox One and PlayStation 3 versions of the game were unable to reach the Japanese weekly sales charts upon launch;[7][8] the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 versions did, however, selling 10,325 and 4,860 copies, respectively, with the PlayStation Vita version being the ninth best selling game of the week.[9] On the following week, the PlayStation 4 version had dropped off the chart, while the PlayStation Vita version dropped to seventeenth place with 2,556 additional copies sold.[10] In the United Kingdom, Chaos;Child was the best selling PlayStation Vita game during its European debut week in October 2017,[11] and charted until the end of May 2018;[a][15][16] the PlayStation 4 version did however not appear at all in the weekly top-twenty PlayStation 4 game sales chart for the region.[17]
