About
Cronos: The New Dawn is a brutal third-person survival horror where you fight for the future by salvaging the past. Burn monsters before they merge. Extract souls from the living. Adapt or die.
Set in a grim world where Eastern European brutalism meets retro-futurist technology, Cronos: The New Dawn lets you experience a gripping story that straddles the line between past and future.
In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of The Change, a cataclysmic event that forever altered humanity. Meanwhile, in the ravaged wastelands of the future, every moment is a fight for survival against dangerous abominations that will test both your reflexes and your tactical thinking.
You are a Traveler working for the enigmatic Collective, tasked with scouring the wastelands of the future in search of time rifts that will transport you to 1980s-era Poland.
In a desolate world filled with ever-present danger, your survival hinges on your ability to strategize and plan ahead. The enemies you’ll encounter are nightmarish creatures, born from the remnants of humanity – defeating them will require you to make full use of your arsenal.
You can manipulate temporal Anomalies to clear a path through the desolate environment, and will have to scavenge for resources to replenish your limited ammo and supplies. Good preparation is key. Once in battle, split-second decisions can mean the difference between life
and death.
The creatures you kill won’t stay dead for long. Fallen enemies can be absorbed by others — through a grotesque process called Merging — to become faster, tougher, and far deadlier.
The only way to stop them? Burn their bodies. And do it fast.
If you don’t, you’ll face ever-evolving abominations that will push your combat skills to their limits.
Your mission is to locate key people from the past who perished in the ensuing apocalypse. Using your all-powerful Harvester, you can extract their Essences and have them accompany you into the future.
But be wary: these essences have a profound impact on your journey.
The more you carry, the more haunted your suit becomes — increasing your prowess on the battlefield but also bringing with them whispers in your ear and flickers into your vision, edging you ever closer to madness.

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 31: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[b]"Dead Space: The 80s Earth Shattered Edition"[/b] This feels like Dead Space met Cronos in a bar and was like "you know what you should do.." and then it dawn on them, why space.. if you can do it at home. It very much feels the same, in so many aspects, the eerie environments, the slow heavy walking and battle, the enemies that are made out of stuff of nightmares and so on, but in in a nutshell, if you like Dead Space, then you will love this game, but more in detail. [b]The Story.[/b] Usualy I say, it alright, or you know it's interesting and so on.. this one tho.. it's mind bending, it's good, but it does make your brain flip around more than usual. Why so.. well - Time Travel, yes this aspect always will mess with your head, as it does in this game. Without going into too much detail, you will start off knowing nothing, you will end the game.. knowing.. just a bit more leaving most of it to interpretation, that in my opinion is a rather good thing, when you have to peace the events together and kind of think of it all. Now the only issue is.. if you think about all of the story once you finish the game, you can see a lot of plotholes, as it would be with time travel involved. As the story goes you are a "Traveler" working for something called the "Collective" and you have to find another one like you, who has well perished and keep the mission going. The mission, well the base line of the story is that some kind of plage has emerged in 1980s, taking the lives of almost everyone in Poland, not only taking the lives, but also mutating the people in abominations, so you as a traveler have to find the reason for it all, for you have the power to travel back in the past to gather intel, in this case the minds of specific people, like actually digging in their heads and extracting the information from them. As you play you can choose whos consciousness you keep and discard as you only have room for three (they also give you passive perks), but the down side is, that what every choice you make, it will not effect the end, now that is kind of something that could for merged in the story more. [b]The Gameplay.[/b] As mentioned before, very Dead Space like. The heavy suit making you walk at slower pace, the angry stomps and punches to the weapon shots, it all feel like good old Isaac, of course in this case your the ND-3576. Now you can't change the suit (only as a cosmetic thing), but you can upgrade it, to make you live longer, have more inventory space and such. When it comes to weapons you have three types to go for, each type has a different variation so in total you have six arms and one special to choose from, each weapon works in a different way and can be upgraded in basic ways, like firepower, reload speed and so on. So you do have a variety of weapons to engage your enemies in way you see fit, becouse you will not be able to take all of your arms with you, just a few for the inventory space is limited. With that we step into the part of survival, as you will have to manage what upgrades and what things to pick up, as you will start off with just a small inventory and in this game, every bullet does count, especially if you start off with the normal difficulity. Besides that you will have extra tools to help you along the way, that are all fire based, this is a important aspect of the game, as you will have to burn dead enemies if you wish to have a better chance of survival. One of the things I could not get use to, was the fact that your character is immune to fire, in this game, a very useful thing. That leads to the enemies, there are not too many in variation, but the most interesting thing is, that they can absorb other dead bodies and acquire their power and mutate something new like, more armor, acid projectiles and so on, so leaving too many bodies around and letting them absorb everything can be deadly, so.. burn the dead. Combat it self feel solid, every encounter is thought out, if you use the environment to your advantage, be in the right spot and use the provided barrels and such, you will most likely not use too much ammo and loose a lot less health. [b]Environment.[/b] Visually this game look very good, a bit too damanding on my little war machine, but even on the lower setttings it looks very nice. It's a very bleak and dark world, every area will be like a dungeon with not much light in it, but very so often there are beautiful landmarks and very cinematic views and landscapes, so it's well crafted for you to not only enjoy the survival, but the sight seeing as well. Besides that, the events are in the 80s in Poland, so lot of the things in the enviorment have been dropped in from that time, as I have seen most of the things like that in life, it was nice to see them in the game as well like the tram, when I got into that I was like "yup, just like back in the day", but the aesthetic of it all, the music and sound and all parts of that are on point. [b]Conclusion[/b] So with all that combined, the mind twisting story with the survial gamplay makes this game stand next to Dead Space and brings it's own Identity to it. Hope to see more of "Cronos" in the future.. or past.. time travel after all.
Este es uno de esos casos donde se nota el cariño en todos y cada uno de los apartados, en ningún momento este juego tiene desperdicio, evidentemente no es un juego perfecto (casi), pero no decepciona. Es triste saber que esto paso sin pena, ni gloria, pero se entiende por que este juego sabe cual es su publico y eso no le resta nada en absoluto. Cada apartado es casi impecable, ambientación, historia, gemeplay, todo esta finamente construido y da gusto ver cuando todo tiene sentido. Juego bastante infravalorado y no apto para ese publico donde ya están acostumbrados a que te lleven de la mano. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☐ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☑ Significant brain usage ☑ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☑ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☑ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐10 Masterpiece
Bardzo lubię gry tego typu, niektóre z nich przeszedłem parę razy. Ale... Przy Chronos zdarzyło mi się coś, czego wcześniej nie miałem - mianowicie niedosyt. Nie jest to krótka gra, nie w tym przypadku. Zakończenie nie daje mi spokoju. Gram od razu po raz drugi. Czuję, że będę chciał ją przejść i po raz trzeci pod rząd. Może i piszę enigmatycznie, ale nie chcę za bardzo spojlerować. Moim zdaniem bardzo dobrze przemyślana jest fabuła i wszystko nabiera sensu na koniec - jak z filmem Dom nad jeziorem. Dużo jest niedopowiedzeń. Można też przechodzić tę grę nie wgłębiając się zbytnio, ale nie warto. Wszystko trzeba samemu połączyć, co wydaje się na przed końcem gry trochę niespójne i pokręcone. Chwilę później po zakończeniu miałem przebłysk. Załapałem. Wszystko od początku nabrało pełniejszego sensu. Wtedy "otworzyłem oczy". Właśnie doprowadziłem do takich wydarzeń... Na początku jesteśmy tylko jakimś wędrowcem bez przeszłości i z jasno nakreślonym celem. Czy aby na pewno? Czy tak miało się to potoczyć? Czy to już się wcześniej wydarzyło, a może wydarzy się od nowa na wskutek naszych wyborów? Może mam bzika na punkcie paradoksu czasu. Wreszcie ktoś zrobił to jak trzeba i nie daje mi to spokoju. Jeśli ktoś lubi takie tematy - must have. Jeśli lubisz taki klimat jak dead space - must have. Na prawdę wielki ukłon dla twórców tej gry. Spodziewałem się prostego hororu strzelanki z mrocznym klimatem. Odkryłem kolejne dno. Nie wiem jak głęboko to sięga, ale zamierzam sprawdzić. Czasem mniej znaczy więcej i tak jest w tym przypadku. Plus jeszcze coś dla starych wyjadaczy pamiętających czasy prl-u - mogą się odezwać wspomnienia z młodości (taka ciekawostka). Tak, ta gra przenosi nie tylko bohatera do przeszłości, czasem może przenieść na chwilę niektórych z nas. Pozdrawiam i wracam do gry ;)
Runs terrible for me with unpredictable stuttering on Medium graphics at 1920x1080. I set the framerate cap at 60fps, but stuttering still happens. The VSYNC option is this game is weird? It's not "ON/OFF", but you have to set an interval. I also noticed that changing anything related to framerate (VSYNC or cap) made the gameplay run even worse until I restarted; the menus were clearly still 60fps. The other disappointment is that my character has a voice. You play as a woman and she sounds a little as though she is impersonating Robocop. Just not what I expected, I thought I'd be a voice-less armor that just shoots monsters, but if I have to play as a voiced protagonist I'd have liked her to sound more normal. But just to be clear, this isn't a dealbreaker, the technical issues are the reason I am not recommending this game. I apologize for requesting the refund, but this was the most expensive game I purchased during this Summer Sale and it's the only one that doesn't work properly, so I just feel really bad about it.
HOLY ♥♥♥♥!!! This was an absolutely 11/10 refreshing experience of a game and story. I legitimately cannot fathom how this game flew under my radar for so long and was shocked to see it release in 2025, having not heard of it at all before the beginning of my playtime. Firstly, I need to thank the reviewer that made me pull the trigger in the first place, enlightening me with the fact that the devs were the same ones tasked with the Silent Hill remake that I personally enjoyed very much. They also made Observer, which I also enjoyed back on playstation before my ascension to the PC collective. This game, however, is an original absolute masterpiece in exposition and overall emotional story telling with an unforgettable setting, characters, protagonist, and sound design. From the very beginning of the game, I was immersed into a universe, so alien yet so dystopian-ly beautiful in its own right, that gripped me and wouldn't let go until the very end. Words alone cannot describe what a phenomenal story this was. I kept wanting to find out and know more and more of the intricacies of this world and who we were, what our driving factor was. To say the least, the sci-fi lover in me was treated to ~27 hours of non-stop fun and immersion and that's before I even dive into the new game+. Prior to discovering Cronos: The New Dawn, I was hot off the heels of Resident Evil Requiem, a huge fan of the series. That style of gameplay was exactly what I was looking for, a survival horror where inventory management was key and combat was unforgiving. What this game does better than the resident evil series in MY opinion is the story that goes along with the entire package. I won't spoil anything at all, but just WOW. If you are a fellow lover of this kind of genre with a specific fascination with sci-fi, you need to give this a chance yesterday. To the team over at Bloober if you ever read this, well done! Truthfully, this game is a refreshing break from the monotony that seemingly plagues a lot of the current games being released. I was but a weary survivor in a barren desert until I reached the invigorating sustenance that Cronos is. Also, I seemingly picked a great time to discover Cronos with the upcoming Lazarus story DLC releasing soon. Not to sound too corny, but you had me giving your team a well deserved physical round of applause once credits rolled. I hope to see more works from you all in the future and am eagerly awaiting Lazarus.
Great 3rd person action horror game with some old style item management to boot! Played through on the normal difficulty and felt like it balance the challenge nicely. The early game was definitely survival horror-esque up until the midway mark where you get enough upgrades that makes it more feel like action horror. The story was pretty cool and the atmosphere and world of the game is engaging with both interesting logs from people and also voice messages. Combat feels similar to Resident Evil 4 in all the best ways. I will say though that some of the environmental upgrades you get aren't fleshed out in more interesting ways but doesn't detract from the experience. Going to enter some spoilers her: [spoiler] I finished the game with one ending out of three, to get the true ending you have to play the whole game again on new game +, so be prepared if that's your thing. The new game+ mode doesn't bring anything new to the game, you're just replaying the same game with all your current gear, which feels a bit boring. Outside of that the sections of the game you go to are artisticly cool but also boring in the ways of horror tropes, as a sci fi game it couldn't have been a bit more imaginative, but i'm just being nitpicky. The only other thing i'll mention is that no new enemy types appear in the last 3rd of the game, and start to become a bit repetitive towards the end but not enough to make it boring luckily.[/spoiler] Lastly the game ran great, being it's an unreal engine game! barely any stuttering and never any stuttering during combat! Definitely recommend if you love modern horror games like resident evil 4 or resident evil requiem.
简单难度体验很好，没有弹药问题，打起来很爽，环境气氛不错，但其实也没有特别突出的亮点
游戏背景，美术，恐怖感拉满。迫使我放生鼠标好几次QAQ，不过优化确实拉跨，掉帧严重。如果忽略优化问题感觉能到8/10这样。
