Chroma Zero

Chroma Zero is a non-linear exploration and puzzle game set in a connected world where the environment itself forms the puzzles. You explore, experiment and learn how the space works; progression depends mostly on what you know, and the world reacts to your actions. There are no levels, and curiosity can lead you farther into the world and its mysteries.

Explore and learn

Puzzles are woven into the open world rather than separated into stages. The environment can change dramatically in response to what you do, and puzzles grow more difficult as you progress. The game offers guidance, but exploration helps you understand what to do, even when working out how to do it remains a challenge. Completing the game generally takes 6 to 12 hours, with additional time to explore everything.

Story and sound

The narrative is mostly light-hearted, with moments that can have more impact. An original score by Adam Kromelow and Dan Rufolo accompanies a world of color, energy and movement.

Additional features

• A color vision deficiency mode that lets you position an overlay in a screen corner or the center to describe the point of interest you are viewing.
• Photosensitivity options that adjust brightness, soften high-contrast events with low-contrast animations, and change the symmetry of the intro animation.
• A repositionable speedrun timer that starts when you select Play, pauses during dialogue and otherwise runs until game over. When enabled, it also speeds up the button hold required to delete a save file.
• Cats that you can pet.
