Chronos is an atmospheric RPG that chronicles one young hero’s lifelong
quest to save their homeland from a great evil. Central to this quest
is an ancient labyrinth, which holds the secrets necessary to restore
life and peace to their home. However, the architects of this labyrinth
designed it to open only once a year. The labyrinth is a test, and
each time the hero fails they are cast out and must wait one year to
return.
  • Adventure RPG - Refreshing combination of Adventure Game elements and RPG mechanics.
  • Virtual Reality - Explore an atmospheric fantasy world in full Virtual Reality.  The level of immersion, scale and detail is incredible!
  • Unique leveling mechanic - Each
    journey into the labyrinth cost the Hero a measure of his life.
    Player’s must adapt to their advancing age as they progress their
    character; start the game young , nimble and quick, and end wise and
    more attuned to magic.
  • Unlock the Secrets of the Labyrinth - There are many mysteries behind the origins of the labyrinth.  Who built it?  Why did they build it?  What does it do?

Chronos is the first Rift game I finished, I played it nonstop. Such a great experience, so much atmosphere in the world. And the combat / leveling system is super tight. Just thinking about it makes me want to revisit my hard playthrough :).

What's crackin, gunfire.

In Herobound, the avatar's direction was influenced by the orientation of the player's head. That felt really weird because I had to keep my head still in order to allow the avatar to move in a straight line, which meant that I couldn't look around the environment while moving the avatar without having it go off course and bumping into walls and stuff. Does this problem still exist in Chronos? What are some of the things in Herobound that didn't work well, that you ended up solving and applying to the design of Chronos?

Do you guys have any pets?

My rift is still months away. This game will definitely be my first purchase, though. Looks great.

Just bought today, fantastic game. It seems to allow you to move about and not fixed to one spot. Anybody tried walking around if they have the space?

Love the game, imo one of the only "complete" games out there for VR, felt like the team really took care to ensure a good vr experience. I would kickstart anything for VR Gunfire came out with in a heartbeat! What's next? Any plan for dlc?

I'd love to try this. It's a cheeky question, I know, but are there any plans to make this available for Vive owners too?

(I know it runs under Revive at present, but I'd rather buy it with native support rather than rely on this)

*edit, several days later* I guess that's a no 😛
