About
Who is this made for: Gamers who like taking their time to enjoy time manipulation sokoban-like puzzles with a text narrative story. The game starts out with traditional sokoban mechanics and then introduces the time manipulation mechanics at Level 6 (around 20 minutes into the game).
Story: They called it the Time War. A conflict where humanity's greatest achievement, time travel, became its tombstone. Born into a silent world, you are Cygnus, and your father, Kronos, has dedicated his life to one purpose: your training. This puzzle adventure is a series of his lessons (puzzles), each one a challenging test of your ability to manipulate time.
Game: This is a single-player, story-rich (text narrative), time-bending puzzle game. You use time travel to be in two places at once to solve increasingly complex puzzles. With the Chronigma device, you are never truly alone. You record your actions, travel back in time, and team up with your "Past Self" to solve puzzles impossible for a single person. Your success hinges on your ability to collaborate with yourself.
Controller Support: Chronigma supports Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controllers natively, so no setup needed and Steam Input should be OFF. If you experience controller input not working, double inputs or wrong button icons, try disabling Steam Input (Library → Chronigma → Properties → Controller → "Disable Steam Input") and restart the game.

The mechanic that lets you rewind time and retrace your own actions was incredibly original and made the game a lot of fun.
Really interesting game mechanics and cyberpunk story line. Will give it a rest as I was at it for a good 3 hours. Some of the puzzles weren't for me, but that was a personal thing.
I truly enjoy Chronigma. Such a refreshing story and puzzles. I can tell this game was made with passion. Love love the art retro style! Puzzles are engaging, hints and solutions are quite clear. Honestly, I can imagine myself going back again and again whenever I have free time to solve the levels, as it is not boring at all. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this game. It really makes you think, and as you progress through the levels, they become quite a challenge. Both the story and the gameplay are excellent.
bölüm tasarımları çok iyi, oynanış güzel, zaman yolculuğu mekaniğini güzel oturtmuşlar, kesinlikle oynamaya değer bir bulmaca oyunu
Chronigma surprised me in the best way. The time-travel puzzles are clever, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the story of Cygnus adds a nice emotional touch. I also loved the soundtrack—it fits the game perfectly. I started playing late at night and ended up staying until 5 AM because I couldn't stop. If you enjoy puzzle games that make you think, this one is definitely worth playing. Looking forward to Chronigma 2!
This is a fun puzzle game with multiple endings, catchy soundtrack, and a compelling story. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys games like Portal, Stranger Things 3: The Game, and Talos Principle. I would definitely recommend, and I'm looking forward to more from this studio!
Um ótimo jogo! Pra quem curte puzzles é uma excelente opção e não é tão falado quanto merecia!
Really entretaining game, mechanics are simple but deep at the same time, the puzzles are creative and challenging, great storyline too!
I’ve been playing Chronigma and I’ve found the game to be very good — it’s engaging, well‑designed, and genuinely great for the brain. The puzzles really make you think, and the overall experience feels both challenging and rewarding.
