Alright, gamers, halt for a moment. You get that feeling. While scrolling through Twitter, a giveaway pops up that can actually make you stop doomscrolling. And this just happened. The official pages of Hell Is Us and Cronos The New Dawn have put up a colossal double-game giveaway, and the entire RPG community is going crazy.
So here’s the dealio from the source. To celebrate the games’ releases, the developers will be giving out copies of BOTH Hell Is Us AND Cronos The New Dawn to a few lucky winners. And honestly? That’s a pretty great deal since these are relatively new RPGs that people are already chatting about.
Giveaway entries can be so boring, but naughty to dissect just so that some will just snooze through a step and turn bitter once they discover that they haven’t won. One has to follow both @HellisUsGame and @CronosNewDawn on Twitter, which you should probably do anyway if you’re in search of more RPG content. Head back to the original tweet (yeah, that one filled with millions of excitement emojis), like it, and retweet it. Tag a friend who’d love it; sharing really is caring.
Winners will be announced after a span of one week, so that means you still have seven days to enter, and will have to keep on waiting. That’s a little torture. Whatever.
What is interesting in the people actually reacting to the event is the chaos that unfolds in the reply section, and this is for a compliment. People are continuously tagging their RPG-loving friends, some of whom even tag in different languages, showing how global the gaming community is.
User @Slayandra goes with “@neephtyz A friend who loves RPGs? This might be @neephtyz, haha :D,” which describes the energy we’re dating for. Then we have @Lalomorfico, who tags @Yisas_SP with, “pues ni tan mal si tocase, no?”, which means “wouldn’t be bad if I won, right?” Basically, a mood.
And the multilingual chaos goes on: Ukrainian @1Arhilapa1 simply says, “Ну добре” (“Well okay”) before tagging @Crazy_Riddler. Meanwhile, @Ferrrr00000 is throwing finger-crossed-emoji tags to @Nico72207176910 ’cause manifesting works sometimes, apparently.
The funniest part? The levels of enthusiasm with which people tag their friends. @SirDunksie tags @scatterbain1 “My man loves them!”; meanwhile @SlayInnit tags @ZaraOnDemand “Heh, had to tag you. You’re the most manifesting person I know!” Feel the vibe.
Then the international conversation continues: @DaniStinson7 and @NeoJinEB are already in medias res, discussing which game they’d rather win. @NeoJinEB says, “Uf, el Cronos, por favor! XD” (“Oof, Cronos please!”) while @DaniStinson7 responds, “si me toca te doy uno jaja,” which means “if I win I’ll give you one haha.” Now that is friendship goals.
Even @Norah_Liv, who speaks French, chimes in to respond to the tag of @MartinGriette with, “Si c’est gratuit ça me rebutera moins 🤣”—which means “If it’s free it’ll put me off less.” So relatable.
The plain tagging is fun as well. @JPr1c3 just tags @Nelpeter2 with “YOU” in all caps, meaning Support Overload, of which I hereby approve. @omgfkid tags @RendarosUA and writes, “loves all kinds of games 😎”—this is the vibe we want.
What is cool is how so many people are hyped about both the games. @Claurospa tags @DavidCanela saying, “I love your GYLT, maybe it will bring me luck❤️,” which is a pure shout-out of respect to just how big these devs already are because of previous work.
The variety of languages and cultures mashed up with the prospect of winning some RPGs speaks volumes about gaming. From Spanish to French to Ukrainian to English and everywhere in between, at the end of the day, all they really want is just to play good games with their friends.
And let’s be honest–both Hell Is Us and Cronos The New Dawn seem quite interesting from the little we’ve gotten to see. They’re two games currently riding the RPG wave that’s taken over the scene lately in gaming, so getting them both for free? It’s like opening the first chest in the game and finding a legendary item.
The giveaway will end in a week; so, you’ve got a little while to go but then again, not really, because time actually operates quite differently online. One moment you’re reading about a giveaway, and in the span of seven days, you’re distracted by watching gameplay videos of the very games you could win.
Seriously though, if you’re an RPG fan, throw your name in for sure. People have tagged everyone from their gaming buddies to @Ninja in the absolute madhouse it has already become- shoutout to @ChickenyIce for the audacity of asking: “we hoppin in this or nah?”).
