Is Chaos;Child something along the lines of Steins;Gate? Also, what's with the choice in using semicolons in titles...? 
In any case, Amazon has that up for preorder and Rice Digital has an exclusive CE.
I own a few kinda VN games but don't know what to start with. Any suggestions for a VN newb? I tried one of the Hakaouki games back in the day but didn't really "get" it, but I think it's because I assumed there'd be gameplay. The VN-esque games I've tried so far are:
- Hatoful Boyfriend
- Danganronpa 1
- various adventure games like 999, Ace Attorney, Hotel Dusk, etc
I own a few already, like Steins;Gate and Psycho Pass but wasn't sure if I should start elsewhere. There are so many coming out these days, it's hard to keep up!
whoooooooooboyyy let me tell yah that the "timeline structure" emphasis on timeline structure is a very complex and sometimes doesn't make sense. This is worse than Zelda's timeline fiasco.
Just know that Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate, and Robotic;Notes [you didnt mention but just including it] are all part of the same "universe" in simple term. It gets more complicated if you want to dive further into it with "world line" and stuff with IF's and But's.
List of VN I rec.- Any Key VN - Little Buster, Clannad, Rewrite
- Grisaia no Kaijitsu [This one is a bit long] - My FAV VN of all time
- Fate/Stay Night [in the long side]
- Katawa Shoujo
- Muv-luv
- Steins;gate [of course]
that all i can think of off the top of my head.
