Solve an Impossible Murder Mystery in Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate
Developer MyDearest reveals release date for their upcoming VR title
Tokyo, Japan / August 24th, 2022 - Japanese developer MyDearest has officially announced the release date for Episode I of their upcoming science fiction futuristic VR game, Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate. Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate, releasing for the Meta Quest 2, has players investigating crime scenes, performing stealth actions, uncovering intriguing secrets and more and it is set to release on September 22nd PDT.
“We wanted to make the best game in the world,” says Kento Kishigami, producer at MyDearest, “we started development (of Dyschronia) without any compromise in graphics, game system, motion, music story, etc. We ignored the schedule and budget and made sure we had the best creators for each element.” He goes on to say, “I think it’s really rare to find a game that is so dedicated to delivering such a great experience for the player. I love all of our past works but this is the first time I have been truly moved by one.”
Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate takes place in the city of Astrum Close where crime rate is only 0.01%. A special AI program ensures that residents of the city remain calm and safe, eradicating any want to commit violent or illegal acts. Players will take on the role of Hal Scion, a young investigator who has a special ability called “Memory Dive.” The Memory Dive allows Hal to alter the past to see the present and uses this ability to help him with his investigations. When the founder of Astrum Close is found dead, Hal must take up the case in order to solve this impossible murder.
“I have always been fascinated by immersive and interactive storytelling experiences,” states MyDearest Director Ao Matsuoka, “unlike previous gaming systems, VR is a medium that excels at depicting a first person experience in a deep and natural way. We wanted to create a first-person VR game that portrays the complex intertwined subject of an ensemble drama. The whole team brought so many ideas to the table to make it as interesting as possible. We hope you enjoy Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate!”
Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate Episode I is set to release on September 22nd on Meta Quest II. Want to find out more about the game? Join the discussion over on the Discord page and keep up to date on any announcements on the Dyschronia Twitter and Chronos Universe Twitter and YouTube.
