Game Description

Radical Dreamers is a text-based visual novel released exclusively for the Satellaview, a satellite modem peripheral for the Super Famicom. Developed by Square, it serves as a side story to the critically acclaimed Chrono Trigger and laid the groundwork for Chrono Cross.

Gameplay

Unlike traditional RPGs, Radical Dreamers is played through text-based scenarios with occasional still images. Players make choices that affect the story's direction, with multiple endings possible. The game combines elements of choose-your-own-adventure books with atmospheric music and minimal visuals to create a unique gaming experience.

Story

The game follows Serge, Kid, and Magil as they infiltrate Viper Manor to steal the Frozen Flame. As they explore the manor, they uncover dark secrets and face dangerous adversaries. The narrative explores themes of love, fate, and the consequences of altering time, which would later be expanded upon in Chrono Cross.

Rarity and Significance

Due to its limited release on the Satellaview, Radical Dreamers was never officially released outside Japan and remains one of the rarest and most sought-after games for collectors. Its status as a "lost" entry in the Chrono series and its role in bridging Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross make it a highly valuable piece of gaming history.
