Early access is live
The long dusk
The moon has not set in a hundred years. Walk the old forest road, wake what sleeps under the arch and decide what the morning will owe you.
Early access holds three of six acts. Your characters carry over to the full release.
A new action role-playing game
Night without end
chronoskin is a dark fantasy game of fast fights and slow choices. Every skill can be bent by the relics you set into it, and every relic is found, not bought.
- One purchase. No subscription, no paid power.
- A campaign for one, built to be shared by six.
- New acts and classes arrive during early access.
Endgame
The hundred doors
When the campaign ends the arch opens. Behind it lie a hundred rooms that rearrange themselves each night, and a keeper for every tenth.
- Rooms drop relics such as Dusk LanternDusk LanternRelicLevel 40Skills set here also blindIt was lit once and never again., found nowhere else.
- Ten keepers, each with a ladder of its own.
Play together

- Cross-play and one shared save.
- Couch play for two on console.

Hear when the fourth act opens
One letter for each large patch. Nothing else, and one click to leave.
The Warden
Might and Lore. A shield, a mace and the patience of a wall.
She does not step back
The Warden fights where she stands and makes that place safe.
Her skills build resolve each time she blocks, and spend it in slams that stagger everything near. With a relic of the right kind a slam becomes a wall, a banner or a wave of fire.
Three ways to grow
- Bulwark: more block, and allies behind you share it.
- Oathkeeper: banners that heal and brand.
- Breaker: two-handed maces and no shield at all.
For those who plan ahead
Builds can be saved as text and shared. A Warden build starts with WRD and its relics follow in order.

No. Characters, relics and stash carry over. Only the ladders start again.
Can I upgrade my edition later
Yes, for the difference in price.
Does one purchase cover every platform
The save is shared; the game is bought once per platform.
How long will early access last
About a year. The roadmap names the acts in order.
