Tales Across Time

About

Tales Across Time is a turn-based RPG that weaves three distinct narratives into one interconnected adventure. You follow separate protagonists across different eras, each with their own goals, relationships, and challenges. Combat pauses mid-action for strategic button-mashing, while exploration and dialogue choices shape how stories unfold. The game emphasizes character growth and moral decisions over brute strength, with outcomes affecting later chapters. Developed by the team behind 8-Bit Adventures, it leans into a retro pixel art style that feels warm and deliberate. Players on Steam rate it 78% positive, praising its layered storytelling and how small actions ripple across timelines. What sticks out is the way it balances simplicity with emotional weight, letting quiet moments carry as much impact as battles. The three protagonists never share the same screen but their fates subtly intertwine, creating a puzzle of cause and effect. Shorter than most RPGs at 10-15 hours, it focuses on tight, impactful scenes over large worldbuilding.
