Chaos;Head: Difference between revisions

When the story begins, he is only know to have even semi-regular interactions with a few people: his [[Annoying Younger Sibling|bratty younger sister Nanami]], his ESO [[Band of Brothers|guild partner Grim]] (whom he speaks to online), the school's [[Handsome Lech|resident playboy Misumi]], and Seira, whom he has become deluded into thinking she exists and can hear her talking and interact with her as kind of muse. Beyond these, he seems to be quite afraid of interacting with people, exhibiting classic signs of social phobia (such as extreme discomfort with making eye contact).

 

 

The game has a unique "delusion trigger" system where the player can, at certain points, opt to view one of Takumi's daydreams/delusions. The player is given a choice between a good delusion (happy, humorous, or [[Ecchi|H]] in nature) or a bad delusion (paranoid, violent or tragic in nature). For example, when Nanami visits and berates Takumi for not ever calling home, she takes a swig of soda without asking; the good delusion brings up the concept of an [[Indirect Kiss]], prompting Takumi to compare it to a [[Eroge|hentai game]] scene (at which point it almost does turn into one), and the bad delusion involves Nanami taking a swig of coke, then gagging and coughing up blood and dying. Takumi wonders why that happened, then remembers that he poisoned the coke beforehand. Typically these delusions have no direct influence on the story itself (Takumi simply snaps out of it and the scene continues from where it left off), but seeing certain ones triggers flags that can influence which ending you see. Many of these delusions involve blatant reference to anime (or eroge) tropes.

** The list goes on, believe me - Taboo! (Yahoo!), Slavecard (Mastercard), Grouchosoft Mindorz X Perfect (Microsoft Windows XP Premium... seriously), THREE different McDonald's spoofs (McDeinald's, McDynald's and WacTiKald's)... there are easily a half dozen of these in each chapter of the game, and the anime adds in even more.

** MewTube ([[YouTube]]) and @-Channel (2-Channel).

* [[Bloody Murder]]

* [[Break the Cutie]]: ''Every single heroine''. {{spoiler|It's the basic requirement to obtain a Di-Sword, after all...}}

* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]] -- Sena's mother. {{spoiler|She was secretly used as a test subject for creating matter from delusions artificially. Since her second child and Sena's little sister mana died shortly after birth, they created a new baby from artificial delusions and gave it to her. Sena's father was against turning her into a guinea pig, but also didn't want her to realize that her child had died, so he reluctantly approved. The experiment continued for several years, until it was decided that enough results were gathered from it and it will be halted. Sena (who didn't know about the experiment) unfortunately happened to be there when they turned the machines off, causing her mother to freak out upon realizing she's been carrying a corpse and proceeded to stab her own eyes out with a scissor. All while Sena could do nothing but watch.}} No wonder she hates her dad.
