A thousand years of words… waiting for your final mark.
Chronoscript: The Endless End is an exploration-based action adventure game where you, as an editor trapped within a manuscript, are to unravel the mystery of a thousand-year story that writes itself beyond its end.
Prologue
The year is AD 2026.
With a long-running serial now behind him, an editor receives a curious new assignment.
He travels to a manor deep in the mountains where the client awaits, only to black out the instant a mosquito sucks his blood.
When he comes back to his senses, he finds himself within the pages of a story that writes itself beyond its end, a manuscript penned by the master of the manor, a writer who has lived for a millennium.
Discover Chronoscript: The Endless End
Chronoscript: The Endless End is an innovative exploration-based action-adventure game set in two worlds: the cluttered, manuscript-strewn manor of a writer rendered in 3D and the intricate, pen-and-ink-illustrated pages of that manuscript rendered in 2D.
Explore a 2D world stitched together from thousands of manuscript pages, each its own unique location. Fight fearsome enemies who, when sowing the seeds of destruction, have departed from this world. Grow stronger with every discovery made and victory won. Lose yourself in the story of a writer and her editor.
This original form of spatial expression is now for you to experience.
Hard-Hitting Action
Rooted in the satisfying challenge of classic 2D action platformers, the game evolves as you play, unlocking dynamic ink-traversing moves, as well as unique abilities to be used in exploration and combat.
Enemies Corrupted Beyond Recognition
Fight against many souls who left this world while they paved the way for disaster and are now resurrected. Vicious bosses block your path. Defeat them to reveal the grim tales that sealed their fates.
Intricate Artwork
The protagonist, enemies, backgrounds, and others are all drawn by hand in pen and ink. Each frame of animation breathes unsettling life into them.
