About this game
In Chronoquartz, every move matters! You have 10 turns per loop: explore, solve puzzles, and use your past knowledge to progress. Strategy, critical thinking, and time management will be your allies in this unique temporal adventure. Will you succeed in saving time?
Every Move Counts
In Chronoquartz, your number of moves is limited. You'll need to be clever to make the most of the 10 turns you're given.
Time Loops
You'll need to use the knowledge gained from previous loops to progress further in the game. This will allow you to open coded doors, take secret passages, know the location of objects, and discover the fastest paths to reach your destination.
Strategic Choices
With each loop, you'll need to decide which path to take and which object to retrieve to reach your goal. Your number of turns is limited, so choose wisely.
Temporal Puzzles
To gain new insights into the game, you'll need to solve puzzles that span one or more loops. Meticulous planning is essential, because remember: every move counts.
Save Time
All the information you gather might help you thwart Morthas' plans. He wants to seize the Chronoquartz and manipulate history. Time needs you: will you succeed to save it?
