Turns out that Chrono Gear was a TimeRys fanfiction all along.

Our team had so much fun watching Kronii finish the game! I also enjoyed hearing her thoughts and experiences on the voice acting side of things. It was a challenge to keep story spoilers to a minimum while still providing enough context for her vocals, but I think we struck a good balance, and the fantastic end result speaks for itself! Chrono Gear wasn't my first game project, but it is easily the most impactful and it's changed the way I think about making games. There's so many cool stories the team and I could tell about its development. It's honestly so surreal that an indie game of this scope came together in only 2 years, and I think it speaks to how strongly motivated we were throughout development, along with the sheer talent of our team members (and that includes you Kronii!). I want to give another heartfelt thank you to our Warden, my fellow Kronies, holo Indie, and to the entire hololive community for your outpouring of support! This is a labor of love and it was an honor to be a part of it

It was a long two years for this to come out but it was worth every single day, SpaceyBat and the Chrono Gear team made something truly special with this game and I'm so glad you finally got the chance to play through the masterpiece they cooked

Kronii, your voice acting during the Gander fight was absolutely PEAK I got chills! The fight itself was so intense, and the transformation completely blew me away it got my blood pumping . The final levels were incredible, and overall this is a 10/10 game my personal GOTY. Huge thanks to the devs for creating something so special and to you, Kronii because of you, so many people are inspired to create amazing things like this game, art, animations, and more. You inspire us to keep creating and to improve ourselves and you inspire me too.

When i saw Kaela play this fully i knew watching your playthrough would also be a blast. The references the mannerisms the WRITING. Everything about this game is done with so much passion and love to the lore of hololive, i havent even mentioned the gameplay loop and how fun it or the rocking OST is cause Everythinggg about it is just so good. The bread crumbs to show is this kronii isn't ours and the tragic end to the other kroniis timeline, heck they made LAPLUS a good villian on top of a timeline where she loses the shackles which i always wanted to see. Amazing game, i hope they continue thier passion in game making cause this was outstanding.

I love indie games that punches way above their weight and holo indie devs are a cut above. The amount of talent and love that went into Chrono Gear is amazing, and it is a wonderful paean to our equally amazing Warden of Time. Congrats on the clear, and thank you for being part of this timeline, Kronii

Having followed GalaxyTrail for half a decade now, I can say that this is definitely one of their most polished, refined and passionate works. If you had to play a single game from their library, it would be Warden of Time. But to any reading this... I strongly recommend that you check out their other games, too - especially the games that put them on the map in the first place, Freedom Planet and its sequel. The first is an excellent homage to old 2D Sonic games while the sequel steps out of that shadow to forge its own identity. And finally, on the rare instance that the Warden herself reads this... Thank you for giving GalaxyTrail a chance and enjoying the game that they poured so much time and care into. It couldn't have been done without you, in every sense. For that, you have my gratitude.

It's so crazy that this metroidvania is--undeniably--the best-written Holo indie game AND one of the funniest 😂 Dev's skill and sense of humor are both peak!

Congratulations on beating _your_ game, Kronii! I'm surprised by how well-written the story was, and it was interesting to hear from the devs in the fancord talking about some of the writing choices they had to make! We'll always be your fans, Kronii, and I'm glad you got to play this labor of love!

You inspired this amazing game that resulted in the Devs going CRAZY with how good it is, the writing was both funny and pulled at the heartstrings, the story impressed me and the levels went higher and higher after the dark timeline which were rich in lore, the music always accompanying the gameplay with great songs and mixes (doorway to nowhere is probably my favorite of the non-remixes) The hype I got from this game is unlike anything I felt in years when I finished it I got a rush at like 6am and HAD to tell someone it was crazy, the Devs made something to be remembered their passion shows and you inspired that! You are awesome our Warden of Sass

The game has fishing, powerwashing, and you can also boop Boros.. Overall it's been peak, sadly only one flaw.. IRyS could never princess carry you with those noodle arms of hers. You can see all the love and passion the devs poured into this game. All the dialogues, the references are lovely, the BGMs are absolute bangers (the Daydream Gandr remix and the last battle was pure dopamine to my brain, holy). The game mechanics and level designs are amazing, and ngl, I got chills when you did the VA in Gandr battle, you're just that good. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making this wonderful game, and grats on finishing it! This was so much fun, thanks for the stream, boss!

Thanks for the stream and congrats on beating the Chrono Gear. The game is like a giant love letter to you and there's so much effort put into it.

Man, you can feel the passion the devs put into the game. The Time duo hug broke me and the transformation a la Sailor Moon really was soooo good!!! The bunkeronii also was a hit in the nostalgia and I loved it!

Seeing Kronii playing as Kronii. Can't get better than that. I'm happy that you had lots of fun! 💙

She Is The Warden Of Time

Thank you for the stream! GOTYに相応しい作品でした😇

1:26:14 the slight nasally voice crack with the “ow” when acting kronii getting hit by the beams is surprisingly funny to me

Thank you for the stream, Kronii. You, reading the dialogues like a voice over, made watching the flow of the story in the game feel really extra special. 💙 The duo of Kronii and Irys is a very heartwarming experience. 💙♥

Oh man the tearsss such a well done game. Even if this is an alternate timeline, your lore is so cool just like the Warden herself!

Congrats on beating the game kronii. The Chrono gear devs really delivered pure art here. Timerys forever

I've already commented on this game on the steam discussion and reviews so will just add here that Kronii's voice acting that she did was 10/10. She smashed this game, the devs are legends for creating this perfect game.

Oops all angst. Fantastic work of art, though. Cheers for getting through, some of that platforming towards the end and the last boss looked quite tricky well done to the chrono gear devs, too, there's quite a lot of love put in there, and it shows

Thank you for the stream Kronii
