The Debt of Chronos

Time travel and debt

The Debt of Chronos is a narrative strategy thriller for PC about time travel, investing, and a mob debt. Your father, Aaron, owes money to a dangerous mob. Lee, a man from the future, warns that Aaron’s death could throw the future into chaos. To keep him alive, you travel into the past, invest money you already have, then return to the present with profits to pay the mob.

You can’t simply carry money back in time. Each trip means choosing how much capital to invest and trying to use future knowledge of historical market movements without damaging the timeline. Paying the debt might not be enough: Gloria, girlfriend of mob boss Carmine, warns that the mob could kill Aaron even after repayment. She offers another risky way out, with terms of her own.
