basic information

 

 

DINO HAZARD®: Chronos Blackout is a cyberpunk RPG with both Metroidvania elements and retro atmosphere. You play as a very distinct group of characters that need to overcome their differences to defeat a common enemy.

You must administrate their skills to restore facilities before it is too late. Discover who is the malicious antagonist and escape its traps and puzzles to survive.

It is an intense, very personal, multi-layered narrative that aims to break down several barriers and prejudices, with a touch of science education. It is a story that values ​​female, Afro-Brazilian, and neurodiverse characters, reverting prejudices that the media makes about Latin Americans.
