A Unique Post-Apocalyptic Future
Set for a 2026 release, Chronocritters transports us to the year 2562. Earth, following a cataclysmic event, is seeing the very fabric of space and time rip apart at the seams. To save reality, players won’t rely on classic heroes, but on “Chronocritters”: robotic animals capable of traveling through time and building portals. The game boasts a polished aesthetic by artists Vlad Ricean and Anna Zvočová, blending wild nature with futuristic technology.
Gameplay Driven by Ephemeral Mechanics
On the gameplay side, this title designed by Tristan Geeraert promises an intense strategic experience lasting between 80 and 150 minutes. The core originality lies in time management: the availability of actions and resources changes and “flows” as time passes. Players must open time portals to access more locations, but with a major catch—these gateways are unstable. They decay quickly, forcing players to constantly maintain them or build anew to avoid being cut off.
Resource Management and AI Persuasion
Beyond the technical aspects of time travel, the ultimate goal is to persuade an AI of your ability to restore reality. To win, you must master the use of the Chronocritters and optimize the timing of every action before the portals collapse. Supporting 1 to 4 players with a recommended age of 12+, Chronocritters is shaping up to be a new “heavyweight” tabletop title, staying true to Delicious Games’ reputation for high-quality strategy.
