A Stand-alone, yet connected to the Chronos Legacy Story tale that will deliver lots of new content! Seeking to expand the lore and narrative of this universe! Chronos IF promises to give the player the chance to explore a new world and story!
The AI art is lazy and uninspired. Too many wide scale backdrops. No immersion in to the environment. Looking at the details, you see the AI oddities everywhere. The game save files go into the same Renpy save game folder as the other "Chronos" game - talk about no attention to detail. There are opportunities to "spend" money but there's no way to track it or manage it, so you run out of it without any warning. Barebones story is then blocked off with perhaps a paywall - not sure since I didn't bother to visit the dev's Patreon to see what else was going on with this version of the game. The one sex scene is okay, but it's with a prostitute. You pay for it, but who knows how much you pay, since the game doesn't bother to tell you. Also, are there other hidden indicators, like an STD marker? Stats and tutorials would be helpful to understand what's going on with the game. If you want to look at a lot of generic, wonky AI art, this "game" is for you.

Not much here for the first release, but wow it's quite good. The art looks incredible, even if it is AI generated. The girls look hot as well. The game also has already shown that there will be consequences for your actions so this is going to be a really in depth game. Also, the setting is really refreshing. There are not many steampunk games, let alone ones that look this true to the steampunk genre. Overall, an extremely promising first release, you should keep an eye on this one for sure.
