## What is Chronescher?

Ascend the roofs of the city and journey to the top of the highest tower, where you may even discover something about yourself. 

Chronescher is a challenging isometric puzzle game. Set in an escherpunk world consisting of six unique biomes. It requires you to learn time- space- and mind bending mechanics in order to puzzle your way forward. As you progress further you will untangle who you are playing and what happened to them.

Master Time and Space: Learn to place portals and return to them at a whim. Place a time anchor in order to take a snapshot of the level and restore the saved state at a later point - without moving yourself. Change your perspective in order to unveil new paths and hidden passages. The most difficult puzzles will require you to combine all these abilities and reach places that seem almost impossible to get to.

### 3/5 — Enjoyable up to a point

*2025-11-15*

I definitely agree with the other two reviewers that this shares similarities with MV, however I did start to loose interest towards the later stages of the game. You definitely have to make a game harder to further along you go, but not having any hint or assistance function as to how you might complete a level, leaving you only with a skip  function does slightly defeat the enjoyment of the game. Started with high hopes of enjoying this game, has now developed into frustration and feeling like leaving it.

### 5/5 — 手戻しなど凄く便利でストレス無し！

*2025-02-03*

エッシャー的騙し絵の世界でゴールを目指してパズルを解く。視点を変えるとルートができるし魔法で移動や時間戻し？ができるってのが面白い。関係性を発見してフィールドを自在に移動する、実に軽快な喜び。Monument Valleyも騙し絵の中を彷徨うパズルですが簡単な作業をこなして進めば解けてしまうので物足りない。コレは本当にアタマを使って難解なスイッチを押す手順を発見する楽しさがあるので、様々なレベルで不可思議な空間のトリックに驚きつつゴールに辿り着く感動を味わえる。

### 5/5 — I like it...

*2024-09-20*

I like it. Nice visual content and relaxing soundtrack.
Similar to Monument Valley 1&2 and Dream Machine.🤔

BTW: I have all three games as above too!😉

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2023-02-09*

Spannend. Ist schnell ziemlich tricky und wird schwerer.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2023-02-09*

Neues Lieblingsspiel!

### 5/5 — Knifflig und Charaktervoll

*2023-02-09*

Das Spiel hat irgendwie seinen ganz eigenen Reiz. Es hat mich auch erstmal an andere Puzzlespiele erinnert, aber die komplexen Level und das schöne Design machen einiges her. Das Spiel hat eine ganz schöne Lernkurve mit neuen Tools, mit denen ich auf einmal die verschiedenen Ansichten der Welt nochmal neu betrachten und zusammenbringen musste. Also dran bleiben, wir immer spannender!

### 5/5 — love the game. need a walkthrough for 4-4

*2023-02-06*

I have tried and tried!

### 5/5 — Wird mit jedem neuen Level spannender

*2023-02-02*

Je häufiger ich Chronescher spiele, desto herausfordernder werden die Twists. Keine leichte Aufgabe, aber nur so bleibt der Spaß an höheren Levels.

### 1/5 — Wasted money

*2023-01-28*

A few levels at the beginning started to appear with the camera option, replacing the teleport feature. I cannot leap from tile to tile with a camera.  I verified all of this with the YouTube walkthrough.  What’s up?

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you ran into trouble there. As we weren't able to recreate this problem on our own devices, we would appreciate it, if you could send us details, which levels had this issue and on which device you are playing, so we can fix this. Thanks for letting us know!

### 2/5 — Kein Vergleich mit Monument Valley

*2023-01-28*

Für mich unlogische und nicht nachvollziehbare Situationen in der Lösung vieler Rätsel-Level.
Dagegen strotzte Monument Valley mit Eleganz, feinster Grafik und fairen Lösungen der einzelnen Level.
Das war grandios, doch hiermit konnte ich mich nicht anfreunden und lösche nach dem Schreiben der Rezension die App.
Aber vielleicht bin ich ja wirklich zu blöd und dann entschuldige ich mich hier dafür.
