Cris Tales review: Time is on your side (update)

I dig alternate history stories, but I’m not always a fan of time-travel tales. It can get confusing, and often, time travel becomes either a crutch or a MacGuffin that writers lean on.

Cris Tales involves time travel, and it’s a clever use of the trope. Combined with a beautiful, papercraft world, this tribute to Japanese RPG shows that the teams of Dreams Uncorporated and Syck (a pair of indie studios from Colombia) have some big ideas and know how to execute on them. It’s publisher is Modus, the indie label for Maximum Games.
