The story of "Chronotopia" centers on Kionna, a young princess trapped in a time loop, navigating her way through a unique retelling of classic fairy tales, particularly "Donkeyskin." While the narrative begins with familiar elements, it quickly evolves into a compelling and original tale that showcases Kionna's character growth and moral lessons about virtue and appearances. Despite some initial pacing issues and grammatical errors in the French version, the engaging plot and rich thematic depth make for a satisfying experience.
“At its core, Chronotopia is the story of a young princess named Kionna who finds herself stuck in a time loop, trying to escape a terrible fate.”
“If you, like me, are fairly ignorant of classical fairytales, don't worry; although themes and story beats are clearly inspired by a menagerie of them, they are woven together into an engaging and believable narrative that stands on its own.”
“Kionna goes through a lot of very noticeable development throughout the story, and it was my favorite part of the narrative.”
“It's not all perfect, especially at the beginning: there is a quite long and mostly irrelevant framing device that bogs down the start of the story, which means it took me a while to really immerse myself in the world.”
“The second concerns the idea of adding a meta prologue/epilogue, which I am not sure brings much to the story overall.”
“Although the game doesn't pontificate on what's right or wrong, the themes are pretty obvious and well-woven throughout the story, including in the endings, which are detailed and varied, and overall very satisfying.”
