About the Game



Humanity is coming to an end. An abyssal monster has awakened, determined to enslave the world. But that was without counting on the ingenuity of Friedrich, a genius Chronomancer, who, with the help of his time-traveling machine, forms a top team of the greatest heroes of the past!

Features

- Compose your team of 4 heroes from the 12 available characters
- Create your own timeline with a multitude of random events
- Face your opponents in an original turn-based combat system
- Strengthen your heroes before facing the ultimate threat

Form a group of heroes

For each new game, build your team of 4 legendary heroes from the 12 available. Tank, Brawler, Support or Specialist,each hero has a set of 6 skills and 5 unique passives.

Create your Timeline

To maximize your chances against the end boss, choose the events you will encounter: treasures, merchants, multiple-choice dialogues, etc. It's up to you to create the path that will allow you to gain power and create the ideal build.


Dynamic turn-based combat

The characters' actions directly influence their position. After a hero's attack, they leave their position to the next character and automatically reposition themselves within the group based on the energy expended. This mechanic creates a dynamic rotation and opens the way for the development of strategies, as opponents are also subject to these same rules.
