As far as souls-like go, Chronos is a very simple and passable rendition of the formulae.

User reviews
Picked this up in a sale, purely because its related to Remnant and I loved that game. Other reviews seemed to say it was a very short and quite easy souls-like, so I thought I'd blast through for the lore.
