About Chesstro
Chesstro is a roguelite chess game developed by your employer, BnT. Trapped in a digital world ruled by an AI, and able to rewind time whenever you stand on the brink of death, you must find a way out of this digital hell.
You play as a newly hired scientist who just couldn't keep his hands off the corporation's secret project. In the middle of the night, he decides to sneak into the company's digital lab for a closer look. But because of a faulty update, BlueDot gets hit by a piece of malware known as TRO.
Manipulate the game using jokers, effect cards, and the ability to create things out of thin air. Keep a close eye on your surroundings and use every trick you have to finally escape this nightmare.
