This article and video contains major spoilers for Chaos;Child
Shibuya once again takes center stage in the Science Adventure series, this time as the primary setting of Chaos;Child. After most of the district was destroyed in Chaos;Head, Shibuya was rebuilt in the time gap between both titles. This coincided well with a real effort to redevelop the area around the train Station, and the station itself.
Beginning in the early 2010s, older buildings were gradually replaced with modern commercial complexes, while major infrastructure upgrades reshaped station areas, pedestrian routes, and public spaces. This makes the game’s depiction of a rebuilt Shibuya consistent with the real-world changes taking place at the time.
In this video, we’ll guide you through the real locations that bring Chaos;Child’s story to life. Below the video, you will find a map with each location marked, link to download a .kml file so you can import it to your maps, and info on how to get to each place.
