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.
