About

In Episode I, you play as Special Supervisor Hal Scion, tasked with unraveling the mystery threatening to plunge the city into disaster. You live in Astrum Close. An artificial marine city sealed off from the outside world under a vast dome. This safe haven is seen as the last paradise for humanity as it stands on the brink of destruction. Astrum Close is a scientifically-advanced city that has a 0.001% crime rate. Revolutionary new technology predicts crime before it ever happens, thanks to the tireless efforts of city founder Albert Rumford. But the very foundations of Astrum Close are shaken when Rumford himself is found murdered in a crime that by all rights should not have been possible. Your name is Hal Scion, and you are an investigator with a difference. You are known as a "variant human", a person who has the unique ability to both see into and alter the past. And your unique skills are exactly what is needed now. There'll be menacing forces that will test your mental agility. Hide, Run, Sneak and escape from danger as you gather evidence. Then accuse the perpetrators in exciting courtroom sequences where you must prove their culpability even when they’re fighting you every step of the way.

    The game has nice VR interaction, with good motion sickness/accessibility options (minus the subtitles). It’s a game that is played while seated, with very minimal movements required. It is heavy in dialogue since it is a sci-fi detective game which may not be for everyone.

    DYSCHRONIA: Chronos Alternate is a mostly fun investigative VR adventure that sets the stage for hopefully more games in the genre. Physically standing inside a crime scene and finding clues is surprisingly thrilling but I just wish it had a more interesting world to explore.

    Visually the anime style works, and the main cast’s character models look nice. Still, the environments are bland, with almost nothing to look at or interact with outside the objects and locations the game wants you to interact with.
