About the Game

The northlands lie covered in eternal snow. Home to many mysteries and secrets, legends tell of the Timeless Widow, Goddess-Queen of the Ancients who were wiped out during the great calamity centuries ago. Now only their secrets remain...

In this world of cold the legendary Black Knight finds that some secrets should never be uncovered. Thrust into an epic tale of betrayal, death and tragedy, this lone warrior must join forces with an unlikely group of misfits to save the lands from the secrets the Ancients left behind...

The Black Knight Chronicles - The Widow without Time is a traditional jRPG in the style of many 16-bit adventures, just modernized. The game features traditional sprites, and more refined now than ever before. The world is filled with details, each NPC has something to say and there are dungeons aplenty to explore. Combat is turn-based and resembles classic sideview systems with nicely animated fighters and effects-heavy spells. The music is orchestral with modern, electronic elements and the story is told through a mix of direct interaction with characters, cutscenes and gameplay.

If you like RPGs you can't miss this renaissance of the traditions that made the jRPG genre the behemoth it is today.
