I got into the game blind, only having read the reviews, and I did not expect such an immersive mecha anime game with time loops. Kinda. I expected a visual novel. But this is VR, and that truly made a big difference. I played on a Meta 3S headset and it ran perfectly
My highlights:
- The mecha fights are truly epic, also when seen from the ground;
- Voice acting (I played with English dubs/subs, a rarity, but I love Chloe's voice actress' voice, Chelsey Moore);
- The game has an actual intro OVA;
- Noa's concerts;
- The story & multiple endings;
- The characters (small cast but mostly well-developed).
What I liked less:
- Although the mecha fights are epic, having to replay them multiple times with no way to fast forward (for most of them) to unlock different endings made it a bit more tedious. Small nitpick and I understand having to replay certain portions of the game for the different endings to ensure all flags get triggered.
Overall an amazing VR visual novel.

ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos is a VR visual novel and action experience that throws you into a gripping sci-fi story set in a dystopian future. Developed by MyDearest Inc., it combines immersive storytelling, impactful choices, and thrilling mech combat sequences to deliver a uniquely emotional journey that leverages virtual reality to its fullest.
This game blends narrative-driven decision-making with moments of intense action. As you navigate a crumbling world besieged by mysterious monsters called Nephilim, your choices shape relationships, alliances, and ultimately, the fate of humanity. The branching storylines offer multiple endings, encouraging replay to uncover all secrets.
What truly sets ALTDEUS apart is its VR implementation. You aren’t just watching a story—you’re living it. Interacting with characters face-to-face, exploring detailed environments, and piloting giant mechs in cinematic battles creates a powerful sense of presence rarely matched in VR storytelling.
The game features stunning hand-crafted 3D models and richly detailed environments that feel alive and immersive in VR. The character designs and animations are expressive, drawing you deeper into the emotional narrative. The soundtrack complements the mood perfectly, mixing futuristic synths with haunting melodies to heighten tension and drama.
What Could Be Better:
-Some action segments can feel repetitive and interrupt the flow of the story.
-While VR adds immersion, the game can be demanding on hardware and might cause discomfort for some players.
-Pacing can occasionally drag in dialogue-heavy sections.
ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos is a standout VR title that combines gripping storytelling with immersive gameplay and emotional depth. It’s a must-play for fans of narrative-driven sci-fi and VR experiences seeking something truly impactful. Prepare to be drawn into a world where your choices mean everything—and the future hangs in the balance.
