Hello everyone!
Welcome in this Q&A,
questions and answers about Chroniric.
I am Nicolas Devos
and I wrote Chroniric XIX. And there...
Fabien Camus, I am the Art Director of Chroniric.
I am in charge of everything "visible" in the game,
in the communication, and so on, of Chroniric.
So, first question: How was Elisabeth created? Her personality? Her beliefs?
It's a character who discusses with the player.
We needed someone eloquent
and comfortable with writing.
This is the reason why, quickly, came into our minds
that she is a journalist.
And a young woman because, in our mind, we imagine that young women are confortable with conversation.
And we decided to follow this path
and it's working pretty well because, as a journalist, she has to travel around the world to investigate.
It matched with some stereotype and it allowed us to move forward in the story.
Next question: Why this frame of History for Chroniric, and not another one?
In Chroniric XIX, we are in an alternative 19th century
In the concept of Chroniric we discuss with a character who lives in the past
and quickly we thought that an era like an alternative 19th century,
which mean, kind of Jules Vernes but pushed to the extreme
with some steampunk references
it could be interesting to create a good discrepancy.
And, in the 19th century there were also a lot of emblematic and interesting figures,
like Nikola Tesla who serves as a pivot in this first story.
What have been your main inspirations in the writing?
For Chroniric XIX we were mostly inspired by films
who talk about the mechanism of time travel.
There is some great classics like "*Travel* to the future" for example.
'Great Scott!'
"Groundhog Day", who helped me to create the mechanism of the game.
And also others movies like "The prestige", by Christopher Nolan,
which introduce the character of Tesla
and also in order to talk about a 19th century
that is a little bit different from the one we know.
So, here was some of our references.
Otherwise, regarding books,
one book was really interesting, founding...
Its title is: "The man who ended History".
from the writer... his name is... Liu.
Next question: is there gonna be a sequel to Chroniric XIX?
And, if so, what is the release date?
YES
There is gonna be a sequel to Chroniric XIX.
We are actually working on it
The release date is...

2019
Around the month of...

The choices made in Chroniric XIX,
will they be taken into account in the sequel?
So, we can't technically take into account all the choices you made in the 1st game and keep them in the sequel.
But, the idea was that in Chroniric XIX
there are 3 alternative endings
which lead to the epilog ("The Memory Palace").
And if you played the epilog, which I do not doubt,
you know that Elisabeth finished her adventure
in a specific place,
and we start from this specific place in the sequel.
So, next question:
How many times the spectrum rectificator may be used in the game?
Is it possible to use all the shots
before the Tesla's show?
It's a kind of spoil this question Fabien...
Perhaps you may tell us a word about the spectrum rectificator?
What kind of device is it?
It's a small gun that you can keep in the palm of your hand.
It's inspired by the Derringer which is a small pistol.
This handgun used by Elisabeth in Chroniric XIX
is an electric weapon.
Actually, it's like a taser, used as a defence weapon by Elizabeth.
And it's not supposed to be lethal!
It's not lethal.
And Fabien makes a good point by specifiying it,
because Elisabeth can use it three times.
It's a kind of a spoiler this question,
if we can use... I mean... if the weapon is still loaded
at the moment of the Nikola Tesla's conference.
Well, it depends if you've *"spectromized" the previous characters that you met.
Because... actually...  there is three shots...
[ Unclear explanations... funny in french 
but not so funny to translate, sorry... 😅 ]
