Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG - Stormtrooper


Welcome, our Employees and first settlers! CRONUS Weekly is with you again.

This week we expose vandalism, talk about new residential modules interior design options, and also share the details of the international conference in which CRONUS took part.

Best Interior Design Poll


The cooperation of designers and engineers of the corporation allows us to constantly improve the quality of life and work under the Dome. Our workspaces have already undergone sufficient change, and now it is time for residential compartments.

We seek to make the Dome your new home. Therefore, it is up to you to decide on how the living quarters and recreation areas will look. So right now you can cast your vote for a favorite option using your working terminal.

Pass the poll

Vandalism under the Dome


Corporate executives are concerned with the increasing incidence of vandalism. The perpetrators mutilated corporate posters by obscene and offensive inscriptions. The damaged canvas adorned the area and created a pleasant working and recreational atmosphere. An opinion on propaganda component of this decor is erroneous and far-fetched.

The corporation management is forced to refute any speculations about class discrimination. Even an Orange has equal rights with the manager from the Silver Wing or the military from the Black one.

Note: from now on, Black Wing employees are allowed to use weapons and conduct searches without warning, if there’s any suspicion of a crime or of a threat to the safety of CRONUS property.

CRONUS Took Part in the Digital Dragons International Exhibition


Attracting new employees is the most important goal of CRONUS public campaign. Right now, our best specialists are taking part in the Digital Dragons international exhibition. We strive not only to attract the most qualified personnel, but also to win The Best Company of the Festival award. CRONUS has repeatedly proved that research conducted under the Dome should be a priority for all of mankind. This is the only way we can build a bright future for everyone. Supporting the corporation is every employee’s duty – for the benefit of humanity.

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG - Stormtrooper


Hello, Employees! The latest issue of C.R.O.N.U.S. weekly is back on your personal terminal!

Today we’ll tell you about a temporary opportunity for those who want to get under the Dome. We'll reveal the secrets of the "Clean Slate" program. We’ll also share details about the scientific expedition we mentioned in the last issue.

Isolation under the Dome at 20% discount



Steam, one of the main partners of the corporation, announced a temporary 20% discount on a trip under the Dome. Hurry up to see with your own eyes the large-scale changes that have taken place in the wastelands: new jobs, mysterious technologies of the Forefathers, wild areas and the most modern equipment. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a mysterious world and start a new life from scratch is available with a discount until May 11.

Go on an expedition to neighboring worlds



The best White Wing scientists have gathered an emergency expedition to the unknown worlds of Sin Slayers! Dome settlers with Xbox One consoles can now take part in it. They will be sent to fight terrible demons, seven embodiments of deadly sins.

To better know your enemy, the C.R.O.N.U.S. Corporation prepared a rare battle footage. We advise you to familiarize yourself with the weaknesses of monsters. Judging by the data collected, this time the opponents became even more dangerous.

“Clean Slate” program



"How do I get under the Dome?" That's the one of the most common question asked to the C.R.O.N.U.S. editors.

Dozens of secret objects, mysterious anomalies and the best minds of humanity in one place. But despite the secrecy and verification of each application, anyone can get under the Dome, even a prisoner. All thanks to the international program "Clean Slate". Any volunteer with the most horrible past can fill in the application form to redeem crimes with hard work for the sake of humanity. Employment in the Orange Wing is not the most prestigious job, but it is only the first step to a new life and a bright future.

Stay under the Dome!

Dear employees!

Newest issue of C.R.O.N.U.S. weekly touched upon the most serious problems of the Dome that have arisen since the renovation. We’ll talk about the invasion of cockroaches and the measures taken by the leadership to fight this plague. We'll share the news about the serious problems with fuel delivery. And, as always, we will present a report on the work done over the past week.

Cockroach invasion


Cockroaches. Perhaps the most pressing problem at the moment under the Dome. Invasion of these disease spreaders is a hot topic right now. Unconfirmed reports indicate that some of them are reaching colossal sizes. They are extremely aggressive and ferocious. The chances of surviving to meet them are almost zero.

We were able to contact and talk to the head of the disinfection commission.

"We know of the problem, an emergency committee has already been assembled. All necessary measures to curb the spread of insects have already been taken. The nests have been localized and destroyed. Of course, no giant species has been sighted. Oranges just like to spread false rumors and over exaggerate problems," said the head of the commission.

Fuel shortage


Dear employees! Many of you have noticed a sudden rise of fuel prices. Some of you have even given up on personal transport. As you know, the external world is in a very unstable economic situation. As a result, fuel supplies to the Dome have been temporarily suspended. The C.R.O.N.U.S. Corporation strongly recommends that you temporarily quit using personal vehicles. Everyone will be offered a free parking at Magellan station warehouses. As Silver Wing employees assure, there are enough resources and technology under the Dome to achieve full energy autonomy.

New report from Blue Wing engineers


Residents of the Dome! Technical work of the Blue Wing does not stop for a single day. The best engineers are relentlessly fighting against all the flaws around, following your observations. This week we are publishing a detailed report on the work done for our subscribers. A full list of changes can be found by clicking on a link.

Breaking news from the outside world


Attention all employees! The world of Sin Slayers is under a threat again. The enemy is well known to you. This time, the XBOX ONE console has been assigned to the battlefield against the cursed souls of sinners. We hope you've brought it with yourself under the dome.

The main expedition is scheduled for May 8. In the meantime, you have time to thoroughly prepare for the battle and buy all necessary materials at a 20% discount.

"News from under the Dome" are once again here! This week we’ll tell you how new and old employees experienced changes under the Dome. We’ll show work results of the group of artists, and invite you to participate in C.R.O.N.U.S. secret experiments.

C.R.O.N.U.S. for everyone



Dear, employees!

Work at C.R.O.N.U.S. is not only about scientific research and high technology, not just building houses or studying anomalies. The corporation values art as much as it values technology, and understands its importance for the future closed ecosystem.

We present you one of the last works of artists who in search of inspiration went to the mysterious land under the Dome, leaving the familiar life behind. Looking at the results, we can already safely say that they made the right decision. We have filmed the entire process of creating a masterpiece that will inspire our and future generations to great achievements.

Closed test site returns



Second major update of the Dome infrastructure came out last week. Not only newcomers, but also experienced stalkers were interested in new territories, anomalies and technologies.

We also reopen special test sites for all enthusiasts where you can better prepare for the ruthless conditions of the wastelands.

As before, any employee of the corporation can take part in tests. We have prepared a special instruction on how to get a pass to closed areas.

Reminder. During the tests, you may encounter unexplored creatures, technologies and anomalies. C.R.O.N.U.S. is not responsible for your safety inside the test area.

Work under the Dome doesn’t stop



After the update under the Dome, came new residents and staff, buildings were created and old premises were expanded. Of course, such changes are impossible without slight mistakes. Thanks to your vigilance, the best Blue Wing specialists are fixing problems in no time.

We have already submitted two reports detailing the work done and more is yet to come. We read all your feedback and comments carefully, and the work on the next fixes has already begun.

Thank you for your contribution for the brighter tomorrow! Stay under the Dome!

Greetings, employees!

The second major update came out a week ago. It means that not only veterans, but also newcomers have returned to the Dome to explore the wastelands and abnormal areas. Patch introduced many changes, and work on Encased doesn't stop for a minute.

For all enthusiasts, we decided to revive the public-test branch of the game called "public-test". On this branch the game will be filled with small changes every day. Join us there if you don’t like to wait for large updates!

While playing on a public testing branch, you may encounter unfinished game elements that may negatively affect your gaming experience.

To download the patch from the test branch, you need to do the following:

  • You may need to restart Steam;
  • Right-click on Encased in your Library and chose Properties;

  • Switch to the Betas tab and select public-test in the dropdown;

  • Click Close;
  • The game should start updating now, but if this does not happen - restart Steam.

Of course, the release version of the hotfix will differ from the test one in a number of changes, but saves from the test branch will remain compatible. (However, to be safe, make a copy of them upfront).

Greetings, employees!

If you've been postponing your trip under the Dome for a long time, then now is the time! Over the past week, the world has changed a lot. All thanks to the dedicated work of the staff of each wing. New settlers can expect new jobs and areas for exploration, the most technologically advanced equipment and facilities like no other in the world.

Station Overhauls


In the latest issue of the newsletter, we announced a change in the management of the Concord Station. It's time to see how the station has changed with the new management.

We can't believe how the station has transformed in a couple of days. Newly opened facilities, flooded with new lamps, created additional jobs. The quality of equipment was increased, and modern machines have replaced the old ones. New designer furniture in the recreation areas is so nice, we want to take hundreds of photos on it to send to loved ones outside the Dome! Be sure to visit the Concord again to see how good the station has become.

But that's no reason to stop here. What matters to C.R.O.N.U.S. is taking care of its employees. Remember, the future of the Dome and all humanity is in our hands. Send your feedback and wishes to us, no letter will be ignored, you can be sure about that.

New enemies in the wastelands


Absolutely legal and safe experiments on the Dome animals resulted in a breakthrough in the protection of strategically important objects. Modified cyber-hyenas were 10 times better than human counterparts in conducted tests. Needless to say, it will significantly reduce security costs. Saved money will be distributed somewhere else to the benefit of employees.

*Some specimens managed to escape and leave the test site. Be careful during your research. Cyber Hyenas are equipped with the most powerful weapons and are very deadly.

Press tours under the Dome


We are confident that the discoveries made under the Dome will change the future of humanity forever. Therefore, we invite journalists and observers from all over the world to visit us. Having contacted our press services you can make an application for a free trip to wastelands, modern settlements, scientific objects and other possessions of the corporation. Remember, you will never want to leave the Dome!
