The Developer Says...

IMPORTANT: If you have controller issues, please try the following. Make sure you turn off controller mappers like DS4Windows, as well as select “Disable Steam Input” in Steam settings for Chronigma.  In Library, go to Chronigma->Properties->Controller and select “Disable Steam Input”.

Who is this made for: Gamers who love hard-core time manipulation puzzles. 

Story: They called it the Time War. A conflict where humanity's greatest achievement, time travel, became its tombstone. Your father (Kronos) has dedicated his life to one purpose: your (Cygnus) training. This puzzle adventure is a series of his lessons (puzzles), and each one a challenging test of your ability to manipulate time. 

Game: This is a single-player, story-rich, time-bending puzzle game. You use time travel to be in two places at once to solve increasingly complex puzzles. With the Chronigma device, you are never truly alone. The Chronigma device records your actions, allowing you to travel back in time, and team up with your "Past Self" to solve puzzles impossible for a single person.
