Source-derived summary

Cris Tales (stylized as CrisTales) is a role-playing video game developed by Colombian indie game studios Dreams Uncorporated and Syck, and published by Modus Games. It was released for Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on July 20, 2021.

Gameplay

The game is a turn-based RPG, along with the ability to time jump, both on the map and in-battle, affecting the gameplay. Each playable character has their own unique abilities.

The primary game mechanic consists on the manipulation of time. The screen is split into three sections, showing the present in the center, the past on the left, and the future on the right. During the story, Crisbell must complete a series of missions with the help of Matias, where she must use her time powers to learn from the past and use it to save the present thus creating a different future. Depending on the player's choices, they could affect the lives of NPCs, thus resulting in one of three different endings.

In battle, Crisbell can summon the crystal powers to send enemies to the past or the future, altering their characteristics (e.g planting a potential poison attack as Wilhelm in the past will cause that enemy to be poisoned in the future). The battles are carried out using commands to select attacks, skills, or items, in addition to making the precise pressing of buttons during attacks, allowing more damage to enemies or receiving less damage.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Cris Tales” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cris, Tales and video provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104413475. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
