Read MorePolish games are getting more and more attention each year. Recently we’ve had The Alters, straight from 11 bit studios, which received plenty of positive feedback. Now, another Polish studio called Bloober Team, known for creating games like Blair Witch, the Silent Hill 2 remake, & Medium, gave us an entirely new game titled Cronos: The New Dawn. It is an

All it knows is that it is being drawn to one particular house. That and a name, “Wren.” As with most mysterious things in that town, it seems to be connected to the
