While Steins;Gate is the most famous title in the Science Adventure series, Chaos;Head Noah is the first canonical entry and the best place to start. It introduces key themes and world-building elements that make later entries even more impactful. If you’re diving into the series, I highly recommend grabbing the Committee of Zero’s overhaul patches for all Science Adventure titles as you progress.
