THQ Chronos: Before the Ashes

In Chronos: Before the Ashes, you are the hero who embarks on a journey in this atmospheric RPG to free your homeland from the treacherous evil. Explore the depths of a mysterious labyrinth and gain wisdom, strength, and power along the way. But beware, the labyrinth exacts a heavy toll – every time your hero dies, your lifespan is shortened.

A refreshing combination of adventure elements and RPG mechanics. The player has access to a variety of weapons, abilities, and powers for their quest. Each time the player dies, they age one year. Players must adapt to their advancing age as they progress their character. They start young, agile, and nimble, but gradually become wiser and increasingly turn to magic.
