"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. 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. 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. Perhaps fittingly for this writerly endeavor, the game's publisher is Shueisha, which is a heavyweight in publishing manga, including the popular Shonen Jump. The developer is DeskWorks, and the studio's last project also boasted a lovely, illustrative style."
