Its been a long time since the release of Garden of Oblivion on Steam. The truth is that weve been busy working on our very first commercial game and devlopment didnt exactly go as expected. But at long last, its done!
If you happened to like the horror elements in Garden of Oblivion, you might want to take a look at Chronotopia: there's plenty of horrifying ways for the heroine to die (around 10)! Also, similar gameplay segments are present, though they're more scattered and infrequent due to the longer story.
The plan was supposed to be simple, almost ridiculously so.
When her father, driven mad by years of grief, suddenly decided to force her into marrying him, Princess Kionna enlisted the help of her childhood friend. Together, they managed to contact her long-lost fairy godmother. Surely, her powers would save her from this hellish fate. Kionna would be able to escape the castle, a prince charming would find her, and they would live happily ever after.
Alas, magic can only do so much. Things keep spinning out of control. Trapped in an endless nightmare, the princess ceaselessly rewinds time in a race with death itself. Is a happy ending truly waiting for her at the end of the tunnel?
A captivating plot full of unexpected twists and existential dread
Over 200 000 words of content with multiple endings (20-30 hours of playtime)
2 GxG (Nahima and Mdeia) and 1 GxB(the "Prince") romances can be chosen at the end of Kionnas journey
Unlockable archives connecting the story to real-life European folklore
Several gameplay phases to experience the semi-realistic medieval world in a different light

Frequent use of cinematic shots to make the reading more immersive
