Press release:
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo –27th April, 2026 – SHUEISHA GAMES Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “SHUEISHA GAMES”) today released a new trailer for Chronoscript: The Endless End, an exploration-based action-adventure game developed by DeskWorks Inc. The trailer debuts the “Age of Discovery” stage, offering a fresh look at new environments and boss enemies.

In Chronoscript: The Endless End, players take on the role of an editor trapped within a mysterious manuscript. To escape, they must unravel a thousand-year story that continues to write itself beyond its own ending, navigating seamlessly between pen-and-ink-illustrated 2D manuscript pages and a cluttered, manuscript-strewn 3D manor.

Players explore a world stitched together from thousands of hand-drawn pages, each forming a distinct environment. Along the way, they confront Cursed Remnants, figures who once shaped history but now return in distorted forms, while uncovering fragments of a story that spans centuries.

The interior of the writer’s mansion resembles a private museum, adorned with rooms themed around various “eras” of world history. The trailer revealed today showcases the “Age of Discovery” stage – a symbol of discovery and pioneering – and the fierce battles against the enemies lurking within.

Chronoscript: The Endless End is available to wishlist on PlayStation and Steam ahead of its planned 2026 release. Updates will be shared via the official X account: https://x.com/Chronoscript_PR

Key Features:

Hard-hitting action: Rooted in the satisfying challenge of classic 2D action platformers, the game evolves as you play, unlocking dynamic ink-traversing moves, as well as unique abilities to be used in exploration and combat.
Enemies corrupted beyond recognition: Fight against many souls who left this world while they paved the way for disaster and are now resurrected. Vicious bosses block your path. Defeat them to reveal the grim tales that sealed their fates.
A Distinct Hand-Drawn World: The protagonist, enemies, backgrounds, and others are all drawn by hand in pen and ink. Each frame of animation breathes unsettling life into them.
Guest creators: Top-tier creators with a shared vision for “Chronoscript: The Endless End” have brought their talents in sound production and character design into the game, fully joining forces with the team.
