Few words carry as much weight as the story in Chronicles of Taldun: The Remainder. Nearly three-quarters of all reviews celebrate its narrative depth, while its striking visuals and immersive soundtrack silently steal the spotlight. Yet even the shortest session leaves players wanting more.

What it's about: Un récit de dark fantasy où la mort n'est pas la fin, mais une voie vers la vérité. Deux mages prisonniers d'une tour doivent résoudre un mystère. Chaque mort dévoile une pièce du puzzle que sont leur passé commun et leur amour interdit. Pour les fans de House in Fata Morgana et de dark fantasy.
