About The Game
Discover a unique combination of branching stories, innovative combat, and classic RPG gameplay in Cris Tales’ exciting and unforgettable exploration of how our actions echo through time. Join the newly awakened Time Mage, Crisbell, and her fantastical companions in a fantasy world facing a grim future. The powerful Time Empress and her forces threaten to bring about a cataclysm tearing apart Crystallis and the other four Kingdoms of the region.
To stop the Time Empress and rewrite the future of the land, you will embark on a harrowing journey across the kingdoms, meeting and recruiting powerful allies to aid in the fight. Master their abilities and Crisbell’s unique Time Magic to overcome mighty foes: send them into the past to face their weaker, younger selves; to the future where they’ve succumbed to all the damage of a poison applied in the present; or create your own strategies in this one-of-a-kind combat system. Your choices in this world will have far-reaching consequences for everyone you meet. Peer into the past, act in the present, and watch as your choices dynamically change the future — all on one screen as you play!

Cris Tales = children book art style. Long load times between screens. Invisible walls. Mostly you can only run left or right, and at some central hubs up (north) or down (south). The map is very unintuitive. Apparently you can see into the future, when moving you have this triangle that splits up the screen, the present is the middle part with the heroin. The outside parts are the "probable future". Of course you meet a frog. Frog can jump to future, pick up a grown fruit, and jump back to present to use fruit without having to wait for seed. All tolerable. NPCs are very terse and writing is not that good. Then you find a boss. Battle needs a skill called water to hurt boss. Takes forever, then you die. No thank you. Extremely linear piece of *****. The demo was enough.
utter trash.
@kosterix You're playing this game on heroin? No wonder you're not into it 💉🤣
