Sci-fi horror from the creators of Silent Hill 2 Remake
Cronos: The New Dawn is Bloober Team's survival horror experience set in a Cold War-era science facility where time manipulation experiments have gone catastrophically wrong. Players navigate between two distinct time periods — the crumbling present-day facility and its pristine 1980s counterpart — solving puzzles that span temporal boundaries. The game features a unique dual-timeline mechanic where actions in one era affect the environment in the other, creating mind-bending puzzle design. Psychological horror builds through environmental storytelling, audio logs, and encounters with beings displaced from their proper timeline. The atmosphere draws from Soviet-era aesthetics mixed with cosmic horror, creating a distinctly unsettling visual identity. Stealth and resource management take priority over combat, emphasizing vulnerability and tension.
