Silksong’s new replacement is about to become the best action game of the year

Polygon · 3 hours ago

Chronoscript: The Endless End is an upcoming exploration-focused action-adventure from DeskWorks, in which players control an editor trapped inside an unfinished manuscript by its vampire author. A hands-on preview suggests it could stand out through its striking presentation and Metroidvania-style exploration, though the article’s enthusiasm is based on a short demo rather than a full release.

The game follows Frederick G. Muller as he navigates 2D, hand-drawn chambers within a larger 3D depiction of the author’s workspace. Its visual design combines ink-like illustrations with 3D pens, bottles and page-turning effects, making each manuscript page feel like a physical space; small page numbers also aid navigation. The preview notes some repeated background assets and minor issues with ladder artwork, but says they are arranged naturally enough to avoid making the environments feel overly repetitive.

  • Chronoscript blends hand-drawn 2D exploration with a 3D manuscript world.
  • Players are an editor trapped by a vampire writer.
  • A short demo impressed Polygon with its distinctive visual design.
