Chronotopia: Second Skin releasing on October 13th

4/out./2023

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1667530/Chronotopia_Second_Skin/

It’s been a long time since the release of Ambre on Steam. The truth is that we’ve been busy working on our very first commercial game and devlopment didn’t exactly go as expected. But at long last, it’s done!

If you happened to like Ambre’s main theme (how hard it is to find happiness when society has happiness defined for you), you might want to take a look at Chronotopia: it’s basically the same theme but with a real story attached to it. And this time, you can get a happy ending, promise!

The plan was supposed to be simple, almost ridiculously so.

When her father, driven mad by years of grief, suddenly decided to force her into marrying him, Princess Kionna enlisted the help of her childhood friend. Together, they managed to contact her long-lost fairy godmother. Surely, her powers would save her from this hellish fate. Kionna would be able to escape the castle, a prince charming would find her, and they would live happily ever after.

Alas, magic can only do so much. Things keep spinning out of control. Trapped in an endless nightmare, the princess ceaselessly rewinds time in a race with death itself. Is a happy ending truly waiting for her at the end of the tunnel?

A captivating plot full of unexpected twists and existential dread
Over 200 000 words of content with multiple endings (20-30 hours of playtime)
2 GxG (Nahima and Médeia) and 1 GxB (the "Prince") romances can be chosen at the end of Kionna’s journey
Unlockable archives connecting the story to real-life European folklore
Several gameplay phases to experience the semi-realistic medieval world in a different light
Beautiful artwork, with animated backgrounds and special stained-glass illustrations
Frequent use of cinematic shots to make the reading more immersive
A full original soundtrack with celtic influences
Available in both English and French!

Chronotopia: Second Skin - Now on Kickstarter!

1/ago./2018

We’re currently doing a crowdfunding campaign for Chronotopia: Second Skin, our very first commercial project. If you liked the atmosphere of Ambre and its heartbreaking side, you might enjoy Chronotopia’s story as well~

Princess Kionna lives a peaceful existence in her castle, enjoying her days with her best friend and confidant, Nahima. That is until her father, gone mad since the death of his beloved, decides he should wed her instead. Kionna has to find a way to escape from this fate, but how? She doesn't know it yet, but it's the beginning of a long nightmare that will take her to the edge of madness...

Chronotopia: Second Skin is a dark rewriting of the fairytale Donkeyskin inspired by a wide range of influences including anime like Haibane Renmei and Madoka Magica and games like Steins;Gate and Child of Light. The story is a unique and more mature take on a forgotten fairytale that includes many twists and choices that affect the ending: the princess can either escape with her servant, become a fairy, or die a horrible death. Multiple times. It's up to you to save...or doom her.

There’s a demo available so give it a go and consider pledging to the Kickstarter if you’d like the project to come true!

Our new title Garden of Oblivion is now on Steam!

10/mar./2018

If you enjoyed Ambre, maybe you’ll be interested in playing our new Steam release: Garden of Oblivion.

One day Reven awakens in a strange but beautiful place where the young teenager is treated like a very special guest. There are talking animals, each being rather kind and friendly. Unless the door is mentioned. The one in the back of the garden. But what could be behind that mysterious door? And why Reven isn’t allowed to go out? You shouldn’t try to know the truth…

Garden of Oblivion is a visual novel/point & click hybrid with horror elements that was originally made in one weekend for the 30th edition of the Ludum Dare’s gamejam. Since it was our first time entering, we mainly wanted to experiment new things. As such, it’s not as story heavy and a little more gameplay oriented than most of our previous projects (puzzles, yay) but it's still free. It’s very different from Ambre but if you like deceitfully cute games that turn out rather dark and twisted, that should ring a bell~

tons of comments from the writer explaining how the story came to life and what the original intent was,
sketches and illustrations from the game,
as well as some exclusive insight into a possible sequel!

If you liked the game, don't hesitate to take a look! I think all of your questions will find an answer thanks to it~

Ambre Update 1.2 – German Translation

28/jul./2017

Some of you inquired if Ambre would ever be playable in German: from now on, it will be. The new version includes more minor corrections on the English script and a brand new German translation. Many thanks to Marcel Weyers for his help![en.marcel-weyers.de]

As for Ambre’s bonus booklet, we’ve finished writing and translating it a few days ago so it should be ready in next to no time.

Official merchandise available

15/jul./2017

I was going to mention it at some point but since some people asked about it in their reviews: yes, we do sell official merch of Ambre!

The full pack includes a pin-back button, a bookmark, a A3 poster of the main illustration (and one from another game), as well as a hard copy. Of course, each of those products can also be purchased separately so, if you’re interested, check out our Storenvy store for more information![traumendesmadchen.storenvy.com]

Original[traumendes-madchen.com] vs Steam Edition[traumendes-madchen.com]

It should be noted that this hard copy contains the original version of Ambre, not the Steam Edition, so it doesn’t look quite the same (as many improvements were added later on) and the only available languages are French and English. It’s also a compilation so there are two short stories on the same disc and those will likely never be published on Steam.

Now you know everything. Next update should be about, either an additional translation, the bonus booklet or both!

Ambre Update 1.1 – Italian Translation & Upcoming DLC

7/jul./2017

Thanks to all of you for your reception of Ambre!

We’ve uploaded a new version of the game which includes minor corrections on the English and Japanese scripts, as well as an Italian translation (courtesy of Elle).

Given your feedbacks, we’ve decided to add some DLC. The first one, the soundtrack, should come out for free in a couple of hours. The second one will be an illustrated booklet with explanations of the story (how we got the idea, what it means, etc). I hope you will like it!

P.S: It should be noted that we are no longer hiding the CG from before in screenshots as we consider the game has been available for long enough.

DISCLAIMER: Please read before posting!

9/jun./2017

If you want to post the second illustration of the park as a screenshot, please tag it as a spoiler beforehand! Since the whole story is based on a twist, showing this specific image ruins the experience to people who haven't finished the story yet. If you don't respect this request, the team will have to remove your screenshot.

This is also valid for discussions in general: We ask that you try not to spoil the twist directly in the title of your message and tag as spoilers the parts of your message that are.

We still love to see you talking about the game and sharing images so, by all means, keep doing so! We'd simply like everyone to enjoy the story equally.
