Cronos: The New Dawn

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game about a Traveler sent by the enigmatic Collective to search the future’s wastelands for time rifts leading to 1980s-era Poland. You track down key people who died in the apocalypse, extract their Essences and bring them with you into the future. The story moves between a ravaged future and the past, where humanity faces a cataclysmic event known as The Change.

Across past and future

The world combines Eastern European brutalism with retro-futurist technology. In the future, you cross desolate wastelands filled with dangerous abominations; in the past, you witness the events that forever altered humanity.

Survive the wastelands

You scavenge for resources to replenish limited ammunition and supplies, plan ahead and use your arsenal against creatures born from the remnants of humanity. Temporal Anomalies can help clear paths through the environment, while battles demand tactical thinking and split-second decisions.

Fallen enemies can be absorbed by others through a process called Merging, making them faster, tougher and more dangerous. Burn their bodies before they merge to prevent the creatures from becoming even deadlier.

Carrying Essences

Your Harvester extracts the Essences of key people from the past, allowing them to accompany you into the future. The Essences affect your journey: carrying more makes your suit more haunted, increasing your battlefield prowess while bringing whispers and flickers into your vision and edging you closer to madness.
