Helionox Chronicles is a standalone solo/cooperative deck-building board game set in the Helionox universe. In Chronicles, players work together as the Architects of the future, a loosely connected group of individuals who have mastered Cryosleep. This advanced Cryo technology allows them to enter suspended animation for long periods while exploring the solar system in search of new technology, loyal operatives, and solutions to the system's pressing crises.

Set against the backdrop of a fading sun, the events of the Helionox unfold. Influence is key to victory, and it can be gained in various ways. At the start of the game, players can customize their decks, selecting from unique Architects that offer diverse combinations and asymmetric gameplay, ensuring high replayability. As you travel the solar system, you'll strategically place different types of buildings for infrastructure, access faction-based markets for tech and operatives, and add them to your deck for powerful combos and unique scoring opportunities.

You and the other Architects must gather more influence than your opponents to guide civilization towards a new beginning after the Helionox.
