Cronos: The New Dawn review




Cronos_POD.png

Cronos: The New Dawn invites you into a rich and authentic representation of 1980s-era communist Poland in the wake of a terrifying cataclysm - The Change - that has completely wiped out humanity.

It's our protagonist's job - the Traveler, ND-3576 - to travel back in time and 'awaken' lost souls who refuse to move on. The one key imperative to note here, when you aren't soaking in all the impending doom, is: don't let them merge. The game won't let you forget this in a hurry.
