A Single-player Co-Op Time-travel Puzzle Game on Quest and PCVR
Chrono Weaver is a VR game that answers the question, "Is
it possible to play a co-op game by yourself?" Enter a mysterious
science facility floating through space and solve mind-bending puzzles
using a slingshot, physics, and time-travel.
Solving a puzzle with copies of yourself
In our game you play as a test-subject starting a new job, with
unknown origins and a simple goal: Smash the Data Disk. Guiding you
along the way is a flying robot named Yoto, a quirky character who
manages your journey and helps make sure you don't get too lost along
the way.
The gameplay loop has a vibe similar to Portal, going from puzzle to puzzle with short bursts of story and mystery in between. The game teaches as you go along, so there is no true tutorial, instead it grows in difficulty, introducing mechanics and weaving them together creating exciting and challenging puzzles. Other games that are similar to it in VR are The Last Clockwinder, We Are One, and Transpose VR.

About Us
Alexander Soustek (Alex) and I (Richard Sinai-Yunker) are Ivory Crow Games. We met 15 odd years ago in highschool and immediately started building everything we could imagine from game engines to Rube Goldberg machines. We continued making video games together as a hobby until two and half years ago we finally decided to give it a real try and form our very own company. We have spent every minute since then working on Chrono Weaver and are so excited to have finally released the demo.
