Themeborne Tease Brand New Fantasy Project, Chronicle!
February 18, 2025 by brennon
Themeborne, the creators of Escape The Dark Sector and Escape The Dark Castle (as well as the new The Last Of Us board game!), are coming back to crowdfunding soon with a new Fantasy game by the name of Chronicle: The Game of Fantasy Adventure.

There is very little that we know about the game at the moment apart from that it can be played with one player or up to four. The keywords on the Gamefound page also give us some hints. We've got Adventure Game and Cooperative in there as well as Fantasy, Exploration, RPG and TTRPG. There's also Legacy in the keywords which could be intriguing.
Maybe we're going to be getting a bit of a blend of roleplaying games and board games with legacy elements akin to Gloomhaven? Maybe it will be closer to old games like HeroQuest, especially when you take into account the artwork.
I love that this has an element of classic Fantasy about it. Black crystals, dark realms and lost relics. This is ticking all sorts of boxes for me.

It will be intriguing to see if Chronicle features any of the mechanics from Themeborne's Escape The Dark... games. I am very excited to see the artwork as well because Themeborne always do a superb job with their games and establishing a theme.
What do you make of Chronicle from this fleeting look?

The design of the logo reminds me a great deal of Labyrinth and HeroQuest and the story blurb sounds very familiar. Can’t put my finger on. Might be that I just confuse StarCraft creeper and an inverted effect of the Dark Crystal. Keeping an eye on these.
Yeah I am mightily intrigued
I feel like I’ve seen quite a few really good long campaign dungeon crawler cooperative RPG-like games recently, so this will have to do something special to stand out.
