Chronos: Before the Ashes

Chronos: Before the Ashes is an atmospheric role-playing game that describes a hero's lifelong quest to save his homeland from a great evil. Become wiser, stronger and more powerful as you explore the depths of the mysterious labyrinth. But beware, the maze takes a heavy toll - every time your hero dies, he loses a year of his life!
