As you make your way through New Dawn — the fictional Polish city in which Bloober Team’s new sci-fi survival thriller, Cronos: The New Dawn, takes place — you’ll be met with the uneasy feeling that you’re not alone. NPCs are few and far between in this game, but as you explore New Dawn’s apartment blocks, hospital, abbey, and steelworks, you’ll start to get the sense that everyone just left moments before you got there. Christmas trees twinkle in anticipation of the upcoming holiday, notes and work schedules litter office desks, and the graffiti of disgruntled citizens marks the walls. Despite being mostly empty save for monsters, New Dawn feels undeniably alive.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a horror hellscape set in its creators’ own hometown
