Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate is a science fiction VR title where players take on the role of Hal, a Special Supervisor in Astrum Close City.

A futuristic marine location, Astrum Close City is a place where crime has been eradicated. When the founder of the city is suddenly murdered, Hal must step in and bring the suspect to justice.

Able to access the memories of objects around him and alter the past using an ability called Memory Dive, Hal will have to back up what he discovers with evidence and theories in order to convince others and push the narrative forward. Everything players see could be a potential clue so paying attention and taking in every detail is paramount.

Dyschronia also features free movement, allowing players to  move around the game’s unique environments to discover and interact with items in order to help with their investigation. No one said being an investigator is easy. Players will also have to deal with the likes of Astrum Close City’s Integrated AI. Persuading the AI and winning over the city’s citizens is key to solving the mystery.

IzanagiGames announced that Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate - Dual Edition for PC (Steam) on March 27, 2024.

Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate has won multiple VR awards, including dominating seven categories at the NYX Game Awards and was a nominated finalist for Game of the Year in the 2023 VR Awards.
