Chronos has you entering an ancient labyrinth to defeat a dragon.
There is an interesting fact about this game: the labyrinth is only opened once a year, so if your hero is killed by the dragon, he can still fight the next year when the labyrinth is opened.
Each year, your character gets older with clear aging effects like gray hair, reduced physical ability, and voice depletion. This can negatively affect your fighting power.
