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 a treacherous evil. Explore the depths of a mysterious labyrinth and gain wisdom, strength, and power along the way. But beware, the labyrinth demands a heavy toll - each time your hero dies, your lifespan shortens.

A refreshing combination of adventure elements and RPG mechanics. Players have access to a variety of weapons, abilities, and powers in their quest. Each time the player dies, they age a year. Players must adapt to the advancing age while progressing their character. You start young, skilled, and nimble, but gradually become wiser and turn more towards magic.
