One of the surprise announcements during Sony’s State of Play presentation today was the debut of a literary-themed game titled Chronoscript: The Endless End<\/em>. It’s an action-adventure game with a very cool hand-drawn art aesthetic. Players will navigate the 3-dimensional world of a mysterious manor as well as the 2-dimensional world of illustrated manuscript pages.<\/p>\n The trailer mostly focused on those 2D sections, showing combat and platforming and seriously did I mention the very cool hand-drawn art? I would have been interested in this for the visuals alone, but throw in a story about writers and editors and I’m hooked.<\/p>\n Perhaps fittingly for this writerly endeavor, the game’s publisher is Shueisha, which is a heavyweight in publishing manga, including the popular Shonen Jump<\/em>. The developer is DeskWorks, and the studio’s <\/a> also boasted a lovely, illustrative style. We’ll have a little longer to wait before we can dive into the inky world of Chronoscript<\/em>, however, because this game isn’t expected to arrive on the PlayStation 5 until some time in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
