Cris Tales is a captivating indie role-playing game developed by Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK, released in July 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. It is celebrated for its unique time-bending mechanics, allowing players to witness the past, act in the present, and watch as their choices dynamically change the future, all on one screen. The game's narrative follows the adventure of Crisbell, a young orphan who discovers her ability to manipulate time, and her companions as they embark on a quest to thwart the plans of an evil Empress. Cris Tales combines traditional turn-based combat with its innovative time manipulation to deliver a fresh and strategic experience within its genre—often described as a love letter to classic JRPGs.
