Sadly I missed the kickstarter, but now after a long wait, it is finally here!

Funny enough, this game started with a Chrono Trigger Reference and people already love this game!

Their kickstarted started in 2019 and released today, December 8th, 2022!

Only two people developed the entire game!! You heard me, only two people!!

Today's game we are looking at today is called " Chained Echoes."
