Chronik

Summary:

A first-person puzzle/adventure/action game featuring Time rewind mechanics.

• Immersive first-person action/puzzle/stealth gameplay
• Extensive intractability with the world or physical inventory
• Global/local time-rewind mechanics
• Ability to smoothly exit and travel between timelines 
• Non-linear level-design and atmospheric audio powered by Steam Audio
• Inspired by classics from studios such as Valve Software (HL2, Portal), Looking Glass Studios (Thief, System Shock 2) or iconic time-travel games like Braid.

Detailed Description:

You are tasked with collecting 5 artifacts, obtained by embarking on expeditions to various levels connected by a central Timehub area.

Your actions within a certain level are always tracked in a timeline, and you are given the ability to exit the timeline as you please - by opening a portal back to Timehub. You are free to branch-out and continue from any previously experienced timeline; all without any loading screens. 

It is possible to make use of time-rewind powers to revert the state of the level globally (to undo your mistakes) or selectively (useful for puzzles).

Your expeditions are never fruitless, as you can take any equipment you find with you to carry across timelines. For this purpose, you can utilize 5 quickslots for your active items/weapons or, more importantly, a physical stash, that is part of your inventory, and lets you drag items from the world back-and-forth (think Arx Fatalis).

The game features primarily level-exploration with puzzles and (in the future) bit of stealth and combat.

Current State:

Currently the Tutorial is fully complete. The Timehub and part of the First level are included partially. 

The first level will be continuously updated and expanded in the coming days and weeks.
