The Chronicles of Nesis

The Chronicles of Nesis brings together some of the best elements of the fifth-generation RPGs including: pre-rendered graphics, tactical combat, visible enemy encounters, seamless battle transitions, and configurable and class skills. Join Elias, an unassuming windmill mechanic, as he discovers the dangers lurking beneath his own sleepy village and the history of the Anam.
The Chronicles of Nesis represents years of work from a solo dev. It is an attempt to capture the seemingly lost artistic execution of the highly praised video games of the 1990s.
