Meteo Chronicles (Old)

Notice: This game is an early, incomplete version of the game Chronicles Meteorfall, a commertial game. This game was released in early 2021, but due to poor reception it was originally going to be remastered as Meteo Chronicles R. After the files to Meteo Chronicles R were lost, development of the game shifted from a mere remaster to a from-the-ground up remake of Meteo Chronicles, Chronicles Meteorfall. As is stands currently, Meteo Chronicles, the original version of the game, is more-so a "proof of concept" or more accurately a "20 hour tech demo" for the real game, Chronicles Meteorfall, than it's own seperate release.

This version of the game, Meteo Chronicles, is largely unfinished with tons of game-breaking glitches and other issues that will likely never be fixed due to the fact that the entire game is being remade from the ground up. These "other issues" include a weak script, major lore and tone inconsistancies, bad dungeon design, and generally poor gameplay. All of these issues and more have been addressed in the full release, Chronicles Meteorfall, who's demo will release on December 24th 2024 and who's full release will launch on itch.io and Steam in Q4 2025. This version of the game is only being perserved here for posterity's sake, and shouldn't be played in favor of the real game and full release, Chronicles Meteorfall. Lore and story information included in this version of the game may or may not be indictative to the final release Chronicles Meteorfall or the rest of the Chronicles of Chronicles series. Thank you for understanding.

Synopsis

In the world of Zutara, there was once a great city known as Arcadia, where dragons and humans lived in peace. However, this all changed when a great blood-red meteor fell from the sky, the Crimson Meteor. The meteor wiped out Arcadia along with most of life on the planet, not only leaving few survivors, but also spreading feral beasts known as terrors across the land. This cataclysmic event was known as the Crimson Calamity, and would be remembered for all of time. 

Nearly 1000 years later, the world had mostly recovered from the Meteor's impact, though Terrors still walk the earth, destroying anything in their path. To handle the threat of the terrors, many groups of brave adventurers have banded together to fight the growing Terror menace and protect the many towns and cities that dot the landscape. The most prestigious of these groups are the Ferngulf Holy Knights, a group that a young man named Koros is working to join. 

Koros lives in Ari Village, a small town located on the outer edge of Ferngulf, and lives a peaceful life working at his father's blacksmith shop and doing missions for the Knights in order to join their group. However, during Koros' final mission, Koros stumbles across a mysterious spirit being who calls himself "Kairos," the "first dragon of time." 

Kairos forcibly fuses with Koros, causing him to become a Dragonkin, beings who were once dragons but decided to take a human-like form in order to avoid a deadly plague, but can transform into their original dragon state for a limited time. Losing control of his newfound powers, Koros accidentally kills his spiteful uncle in self-defense, and for doing so is banished from his village. 

With nowhere else to go, Koros follows Kairos' advice to seek out Archsage Amadeus, leader of the Church of Nargi, in order to learn of his grand destiny. Upon meeting with the Archsage, Koros learns that a noble from east Ferngulf named Baron Ozma seeks to re-create the legendary blade Ars Solaris in order to summon the Crimson Meteor once again. For what reason, that is unknown. To do this, he sent out his 4 elven generals to collect the 4 shards of the Ars Solaris. Once gathered, the four shards will combine, re-creating the Ars Solaris, the legendary blade that was sealed long ago. 

On his journey, Koros meets many new allies, like Tayo the enigmatic bandit-turned-priest, Zenith, the duchess of a town of monsters, and Stacy, a ditsy summoner's apprentice who is a Wingli, a race of winged humanoids who live high in the sky in floating cities. With these 3 new allies and the various powers they find along the way, will Koros able to stop Baron Ozma's diabolical plot and save the world? Or is there another foe working behind the scenes? Find out in Meteo Chronicles, the first game in the Chronicles of Chronicles series!
