✦ AI summary

Chronology is a charming puzzle platformer with an appealing art style and creative time travel mechanics, though players consistently note that the puzzles remain disappointingly simple and fail to reach their potential, compounded by a notably short length and abrupt ending that underwhelms the experience. Most reviewers acknowledge the game has genuine charm and fun moments with its unique snail companion and level design, but feel the overall package is somewhat incomplete and anticlimactic.

Not recommended Jul 13, 2026
The negative review is mostly for the abrupt ending, however the rest of it wasn't good either. Uninspired soundtrack, horrific and swallow story and blunt characters... The gameplay is not refined even after all the time the game has been released and did stumble upon a few glitches. The puzzles were tasteless and the time mechanic mediocre at best. Only positive the graphics that were at least decent... Overall it is not worth of any amount of time or price ( even on 90% discount), as there are other games even on the same price range with much more to offer. Not recommended.

A short and fun little puzzle game. The puzzles never seem to reach their heights. The mechanics had the potential to be Portal level puzzles. Instead, they stay a bit simple. The end section is a lite platform section and not a puzzle, but still fun. I would recommend this short game for fans of the simple puzzle genre.

really charming puzzle platformer with a beautiful world and a cool time travel mechanic the puzzles are fun and the little snail companion makes the whole game feel more unique
Recommended Aug 5, 2026
Very interesting! A bit short, but the progression and level design are really cool. Several neat mechanics with both characters. I missed a puzzle and a mechanic involving both characters in the boss fight... It ended like ripping off a band-aid, quick and short. Anyway, excellent work guys! I had a lot of fun!!

Chronology is a little short game where you have different ways to affect time by travelling to the past, the present or even freezing time itself. Yet, hardly any of the puzzles in the game feel that complex. This is a shame as the mechanics themselves are interesting, graphics are charming and you kind of start to like the characters as you progress the story. I wish there was a "neutral" review on Steam, because while this game certainly has its charm and feels fun, the lack of complexity in puzzles, its short length and the anticlimactic ending drain a lot out of the experience. It doesn't feel like a complete waste of time, though, so my review will be positive.

Nice little game. It's almost free when on sale. I bought it on sale a while back because I knew that it had issues on Linux. I only bought it so I could tinker with Protontricks and Proton versions etc. when I started to play games on Linux. I got it to work back in 2022/23. Now the game is Steam Deck verified. I played through the game on the Legion Go S with Z2 Go(SteamOS), finished the game with about 30% left on the battery. I needed to cheat on Canon puzzle.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
