At the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, we just revealed the world premiere of Epoch Reset (previously Chronellium), a time-bending, 2.5D anime adventure from the same publisher as wholesome origami adventure Hirogami and biopunk battler Sonokuni. This time they're taking the path of the intelligentsia with an immersive, sci-fi narrative adventure with time travel at its core.
The trailer is awakening the Steins;Gate stan within me to the point that I'm convinced the protagonist could actually be Okarin from a parallel universe. Cut to the beat of a super cyberpunky OST, the trailer runs through shots of present-day Hong Kong to the back-alleys of 2069 Tokyo, showcasing several of the minigames contained within this fast-paced thriller.
With time at your fingertips as the inventor of the world’s first time machine, you'll explore futuristic cityscapes and piece together fragmented timelines in an ever-shifting world of puzzles and challenges. You'll get stuck into android surgery, maybe play a round or two of blackjack.
The pitch here is an immersive tale of friendship, temporal catastrophes, and a murder that could yet be avoided if you play your cards right. Seriously, it's so Steins;Gate they're even wearing the same lab coats. If developer abnermtj is offering anything close to the kind of experience I had watching my favorite anime, we're in for a treat.
The final game isn't set to launch until 2027—it's being made by a solo developer—but you can wishlist it now on Steam to keep up with its development.
Shoujo is king, but if Shonen is your thing there's plenty of that being announced during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025 Powered by Xbox Game Pass.
