时光编年史-阿斯特拉的萌芽
"Souls of Chronos" is set to release on February 14!
It's been over a year since the first demo of Souls of Chronos was released on Steam, marking our RPG debut. Despite its imperfections, the demo received a tremendous amount of positive feedback and suggestions, and players fell in love with the post-apocalyptic world we created. These encouraging words fueled our passion to continually improve every aspect of the game, bringing our vision of Souls of Chronos to life.
Then, a successful crowdfunding campaign at MoDian brought in many "Founders of Astella" and led to the launch of a revamped demo in September 2022. As a group of young developers, we are overwhelmed by the increasing interest in Souls of Chronos and are deeply grateful for your continued support. Thank you!
Today, we are extremely happy to announce that Souls of Chronos is set to release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC Steam globally on February 14th! Join Sid and Torii on their thrilling adventure as they explore Astella and beyond to eventually uncover its mysterious secrets!
The Background – A Post-Apocalyptic New World
Embark on an epic journey with Sid and Tori as they explore the diverse and perilous world of Astella. From the murky underground sewers to the hidden gang hideouts, to the breathtaking terrestrial coral and the peaceful Red Woods, every location presents unique challenges and opportunities. Choose to be bold or strategic, to align with a faction or strike out on your own. Join the Chronus and the Linked as they battle for their fate in a complex web of forces that threatens to shape the future of Astella and the entire continent.
The Combat – Forge Your Own Style: Customizable Weapons & Time-bending Chrono Power
As Sid’s partner, Torii will also join the combat and fight alongside him. As they level up, players can choose different skills to master different combat styles. Also, with the progression of the story, the pair will be able to unlock new mechanisms.
As a powerful Chronus, Torii can unleash her special Chrono power to manipulate the time during combat anytime when you are at a disadvantage to turn the tide. Sid, on the other hand, can choose two weapons to equip at the same time, from a total of six distinct weapon types, each with its own upgrade path – Find the combat style that best suits you and battle some of the most fearful foes!
The Characters – Friends from Astella
The world of Astella teems with diverse NPCs, each with their own unique backgrounds and personalities. We have worked tirelessly to bring these NPCs to life, revising their character designs to reflect their stories and the factions they represent. As you navigate this post-apocalyptic world, you will have the opportunity to forge powerful alliances and join forces with them against a looming storm that threatens to upend the fragile peace.
Of course, there is much more to it! We would like to thank you once again for your continued support. We would like to invite you to share your thoughts and suggestions with us.
We hope you all enjoy Souls of Chronos.
Sincerely,
Futu Games & Astrolabe Games

Demo Gone, Official Release Soon!
Since the release of the Demo in September, we have received a lot of feedback and suggestions for our community members! We are extremely grateful for your continuous support and attention, and we have made quite some corresponding revisions based on all the feedback we collected over time.
However, because of this, the Demo currently available for download is now quite outdated and thus, cannot reflect the quality of the version we are preparing to release to everyone. Therefore, we have decided to temporarily take down the Demo before the official release.
YES, YOU HEAR IT RIGHT, we are now in the final leg before the official release! As for the official release date, please allow us to keep that a secret for now and we will announce it VERY SOON.
In the upcoming official release, we will bring you the adjustments to the following area in game:
- Combat System;
- Art and Assets;
- Soundtracks and SFX;
- and everyone's favourite - Balance;
Additionally, we'd like to let you know that the official version will include a total of five chapters of the main storyline and four branching endings, based on the choices you made along the way.
We are doing our very best to ensure all of you can enjoy the fully-polished official release.
Thank you again for your attention and support, and we wish you a happy Chinese New Year! See you soon!
Your development and publishing team,
January 20th, 2023.
"Souls of Chronos" Demo Available Now!
How do you like the announcement trailer for “Souls of Chronos”?
We are extremely pleased to let you know that the demo for “Souls of Chronos” is available, as of NOW!
We welcome you all to Astella, to experience the world of “Souls of Chronos“ via this demo.
Here is a brief introduction of what is included in this demo.
- Story & Characters
Although the demo only covers the beginning of the story we plan to tell, most of Sid's important friends and partners are already introduced. Of course, the conspiracy that drives the fate of Astella is yet to be revealed, as well as the masterminds behind the scene, a.k.a. “Team Bad Guys”.
- Combat System
The demo includes a part of the very first dungeon in the game – Sewers. It features a variety of enemies that could bring trouble for our players in many ways. Don’t forget to challenge the demo-exclusive boss at the end!
- Weapon System
There are a total of four weapons included in the demo. We are sure our players will be able to find their favourites!
- Supplemental System
In the demo, a small portion of the cooking, alchemy, and weapon modification systems are accessible, offering players useful buffs and deadly weapon modifications to handle these fearful foes.
As this is the first public demo of “Souls of Chronos”, we would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about your experience, not only on the art and gameplay, but also on the localization of the game. You can always find us here on the discussion board. Alternatively, please do not hesitate to reach out to us on Twitter or Facebook. Feel free to check out our Discord channel too! Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for your attention, and for playing the demo of “Souls of Chronos”!
