About Chrono Gear: Warden of Time
Chrono Gear: Warden of Time casts you as Ouro Kronii, the Warden of Time, on a quest to retrieve the shattered Golden Gears and mend the fractured space‑time continuum. The game presents a retro‑styled 2D action experience that blends rapid platforming, sword combat, and a story that unfolds through hub worlds populated by hololive talents.
Players can manipulate time with the Haste and Stasis abilities, chase speed‑run records, or explore for hidden collectibles while listening to a soundtrack of over 75 music pieces. The title supports full controller use, adjustable difficulty, Steam Cloud saving, and runs on Windows and Linux in single‑player mode.
01 / THE GUIDE
Time Manipulation
Kronii’s special abilities let you control the flow of time: Haste accelerates it, while Stasis slows it down. These powers appear in combat and platforming, letting you adapt to fast‑paced enemy encounters or precise timing puzzles.
Both abilities are available in any mission, supporting players who aim for the fastest completion times as well as those who prefer thorough exploration. Their presence encourages varied approaches to each level without imposing a single play style.
- Use Haste on long‑range jumps to reduce travel time.
- Apply Stasis when enemy patterns feel dense to gain positioning space.

Central Hub Areas
The game features hub locations that link each destination in your journey. As you progress, these hubs become increasingly populated with hololive talents and fans, reflecting story advancement and providing a visual sense of progress.
Hubs act as safe zones where you can pause, plan your next mission, and observe the growing community presence. This adds a narrative layer to the otherwise action‑focused gameplay without altering core mechanics.
- Visit hubs after major milestones to see new talent appearances.
- Use hubs to plan routes before tackling a new destination.

Soundtrack Collectibles
Over 75 pieces of music, including remixes of popular hololive originals, are scattered throughout the game. Collecting these tracks expands the pulse‑pounding soundtrack and reinforces the retro action atmosphere.
Tracks are hidden throughout the game, encouraging players to explore beyond the main path. Collecting the tracks offers an additional completion goal beyond the main path.
- Check mission briefings for hints about hidden music locations.
- Re‑visit cleared areas to locate tracks you may have missed.
04 / THE GUIDE
Adjustable Difficulty
Players can select from multiple difficulty settings, allowing the game to cater to both casual explorers and competitive speed‑runners. Difficulty settings let players tailor the challenge to their own preferences.
Adjusting difficulty is a straightforward way to tailor the experience. Lower settings help newcomers learn mechanics, whereas higher settings provide tighter challenges for experienced players.
- Start on a lower difficulty to learn mechanics, then raise it for tighter runs.
- Switch difficulty after mastering a level to test new strategies.
05 / THE GUIDE
Full Controller Support
Chrono Gear: Warden of Time includes full controller support, compatible with DualShock and DualSense devices. The game also offers a Keyboard Only option, giving players flexibility in input method.
Both input options allow you to experience the fast platforming and sword combat without requiring a specific peripheral. The support is listed as a feature, but no additional controller‑specific functions are documented.
- Try the controller for a more relaxed grip during long runs.
- Switch to Keyboard Only if you prefer precise button presses.
