A version of the normally dormant Chronos virus has mutated, becoming deadly, resulting in the death of any living thing it comes into contact with. This pandemic has decimated the human populace and plunged modern society into chaos. After several failed attempts at finding a cure it is now time to activate the last resort.
The Powers That Govern, a mysterious secret society, have enlisted you to pilot a machine developed from the collective research of some of the most brilliant minds in history; Da Vinci, Tesla and Einstein. This machine is the final contingency, it will shift you through the voids of space and time… Your destination, Victorian London.
It is here that you will find patient zero, the only known fatality caused by Chronos up until it’s mutation in the present day. The research from this rare case was once lost to time but now you have the power to get it back and find a cure. Change the past, fix the present and give humanity a future.

A lovely set with some enjoyable physical interactivity, but one puzzle that we felt had equally plausible alternative solutions with nothing indicating that they weren't correct, and a couple of puzzles that were essentially the same. A bit disappointing.
Despite these initial setbacks, Chronos didn't quite hit the mark for us. We found ourselves encountering a few interruptions that disrupted the flow. Nevertheless, having experienced the quality of Escapologic's other games, we remain confident in their ability to provide exceptional experiences. So, if this one falls short for you, don't let it deter you from exploring their other offerings—they're truly fantastic!
Would've rated a lot higher, but the GM gave us the orbs at the wrong times which just confused us and meant that we didn't really know if we were correct and kept repeating things. Theme was cool.
