Welcome, Traveler ND-3576! If these words are new to you, consider this your invitation to the unknown. What awaits you next?
 

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person, chilling survival horror from Bloober Team, the studio behind SILENT HILL 2 and acclaimed titles like The Medium, Observer, and Layers of Fear. Since its launch, the game has earned widespread praise from both the community and horror fans alike, bringing back the classic survival horror spirit in an unforgettable way. Set in New Dawn, a world inspired by the real-life district of Nowa Huta in Krakow, Poland, the game delivers a hauntingly immersive journey.
 

If you haven’t yet experienced the unique “merge” mechanic, embarked on your journey as a Traveler, or faced the terrifying Orphans head-on, now is your chance. Go ahead and download the free 30-minute demo on Steam or Epic and get a taste of the game from the very beginning—an excellent opportunity to test your skills and explore the world of New Dawn. Best of all, any progress you make in the demo carries over to the full game.
 

Players will experience the intro and first mission of the Traveler, whose goal is to locate a predecessor. This section of the game introduces you to combat, the terrifying merge mechanic, and the overall atmosphere of Cronos: The New Dawn. You’ll wield at least two types of weapons, beginning with a basic handgun, the Sword MK-1615, obtained at the start of the game. Survival is impossible without firepower, and Cronos: The New Dawn offers plenty to collect.
 

You can play and replay the demo as many times as you like. The world of Cronos: The New Dawn throws you into a brutal post-apocalyptic wasteland full of deadly creatures, scarce resources, and tough choices. Along the way, keep an eye out for cats—you might even get a chance to pet a few as you progress.
 

Don’t hesitate — download the demo on Steam or Epic now, put on the Traveler’s suit, and take your first steps into the harsh world of Cronos: The New Dawn. If you enjoy the game, you can now grab the game at 15% off as part of its first-ever Halloween sale across all platforms: Steam, Epic, PlayStation Store (Discount available from Oct. 22), Microsoft Store, Nintendo Store, and GOG.
