Cronos: The New Dawn follows the Traveler, who works as an agent for an enigmatic organization known as the Collective to serve in a mission known as the Vocation. The Traveler must survive the dangers of a future apocalyptic wasteland to find points that allow them to travel back in time to Poland in the 1980s in order extract selected people who did not survive the Change, a cataclysmic event that turned humans into monsters known as "Orphans". The player character, the Traveler, can use both melee abilities and a variety of firearms such as pistols and shotguns to defeat enemies. If defeated enemies are not properly disposed of using fire, a surviving enemy will merge with the undead corpses, creating a hardened, more difficult version of the same enemy.
