A third-person survival horror from the Polish studio Bloober Team. In Cronos: The New Dawn we play as a Traveler exploring a world of the future destroyed by the Change event. We need to fight bloodthirsty monsters and search for rifts to go back in time to the 1980s.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a survival horror game that transports us to a universe that combines retro-futurism and brutalism. The game was developed by Bloober Team - a Polish studio specializing in scaring players, with projects such as Silent Hill 2 Remake in their portfolio.
In Cronos: The New Dawn, we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The adventure leads us through various locations, which we can view in two versions - from the past, iring the brutalist architecture in all its glory, and also from the future, where we have to face the aberrations inhabiting the Earth (so-called Orphaned).
The main character (Traveler) confronts bloodthirsty creatures that are remnants of humanity, using firearms or engaging in close combat. Their presence and the fact that they usually outnumber us, make us constantly vigilant during the game, and on the battlefield we need to show reflexes, tactical sense and the ability to make quick decisions. An interesting mechanic is that bodies of the killed monsters must be burned before their brethren absorb them, evolving into more dangerous forms (faster, stronger and more resilient).
Cronos: The New Dawn presents us with a grim vision of a world devastated by an apocalyptic event known as The Change, which turned it into a barren desert. During the game, we play as a Traveler working for a mysterious Collective.The hero traverses the wastelands of the future in search of space-time rifts leading to Poland from the 1980s - more specifically to a place called New Dawn (inspired by Nowa Huta in Krakow city).
In the future the protagonist's primary goal is survival, but in the past he must find the key people who perished during the Change, obtain their essence using a tool known as the Reaper, and do everything in his power to ensure they accompany him to the future.
The soundtrack for the game Cronos: The New Dawn was composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski.
