Hello, everyone!
August is here and summer is in full swing! The heat may be relentless, but we've got some news to make things even hotter!
After sharing our development history, showcasing trailers, and going through hands-on preview sessions with the press... the time has finally come for all of you to experience the game for yourselves!
- Free Demo Now Available on Steam!
Starting today, August 20th, the free demo for Chronoscript: The Endless End is live on Steam! 🎉
Thank you for your patience, and we hope you'll enjoy diving into the manuscript pages and exploring the worlds within it this weekend.
- Demo Highlights ✒️
First up, check out the trailer packed with everything that makes this demo special!
👉 Demo Trailer:
In this demo, you'll play through the prologue, from our protagonist, the "editor" Frederick, arriving at the manor and finding himself trapped in the world of the manuscript pages, all the way to his encounter with the mysterious vampire "author," Viola!
You'll explore the game's unique environments, where beautifully hand-drawn 2D stages and a synchronized 3D-rendered manor intertwine. We hope you'll enjoy this fresh gameplay feel for yourselves! The demo offers around 30 minutes of gameplay—but beware: a hidden boss fight awaits along the way, and it's a formidable one that won't go down easy...!
We like to emphasize that what you'll experience this time is merely the "prologue" of the endless story. As you look back on the new stage footage we've shared so far, let your imagination wander to the "proofreading" journey that lies ahead 📖
🔥Hidden Boss Battle 🔥
For those who're looking for a challenge, we've also included "Extra: Boss Challenge Battle" in the demo. A special mode focused on an intense showdown with a powerful boss, unlocked after completing the main exploration! A portion of the main character's skill is unlocked in this mode, letting you take on an even more challenging and exhilarating fight 👿
If you're confident in your speed, your clear time gets recorded—snap a screenshot and share it on social media! ⏱ (Clear reports and other shared moments are always welcome too 💕)
