Enter the Chronosphere - Version 120

Chronosphere version 120

This build brings some major aesthetic improvements to the world choice screen (fancy new background, and a simplified UI). We've also continued with changes to the metaprogression, including a less overwhelming mission structure.

ℹ️ The Steam playtest is closed, but anyone who signed up will still have access (for now). If you would like to play, please join our Discord and ask.
