Chronology Warps onto iOS Devices
Aalborg, Denmark - September 10, in the year of our Lord
2014 - Osao Games, an indie micro-studio dedicated to
crafting touching gaming experiences, today announced that its
mind-bending puzzle-platforming game, Chronology, is now
available worldwide on iOS. In Chronology, players will travel
between planes of time in charming, hand-drawn steampunk
environments that feature unique puzzle-solving elements.
Improved and remastered for mobile devices, players follow the
journey of a brilliant, Einstein-esque inventor and his
mechanically-inclined snail as they reshape the outcome of their
world. Chronology is free to try, with the first three in-game
chapters available to download on the iOS App Store at no cost.
Players can choose to unlock an additional five, longer chapters
for a one-time in-app purchase of $2.99 USD. Additional chapters
are also planned to be incorporated into the mobile version at a
future date.
Chronology begins as its protagonist -- the Old Inventor --
awakes with no memory among the desolate remains of a world once
teeming with life. Upon discovering a time travel device, the
inventor sets out to restore the timeline with the help of a
talking snail who can stop time. Mixing classical fantasy with
retro-futuristic elements, players will control both characters
to solve the game's intricate puzzles, switching between the
beautiful, idyllic past and the dark, dystopian future.
Chronology has had a turbulent history. After the original
developer closed its doors in January 2014 (after the game had
been Greenlit by the Steam community), a dedicated team of
developers formed Osao Games to continue the game's development.
Chronology debuted on Steam this past May, and was selected as
one of the eight finalists for the Nordic Game Indie Sensation
Award.
