In 2018, successful Twitch streamer BoxBox founded his own indie studio, BoxBox Studios. While the name is a bit indulgent, fans of BoxBox were hopeful that the new studio would produce a game in line with the strategic experiences he plays on-stream. Now, three years later, BoxBox is ready to show what he's been working on to the world. Chroma Chronicles is an indie multiplayer deckbuilding game that BoxBox says is inspired by Slay the Spire and Teamfight Tactics. The game's Kickstarter is now live and has a goal of $30,000.

In Chroma Chronicles, players will choose one of three characters, Luna, Jade, and Klay. Luna is a mage and is represented by the color purple. Jade is a thief and has the color green. Klay is a red warrior. Once a character is selected, players will draft a deck of cards to go on a «Journey» to try and win 5 matches. After each match, players will be able to upgrade and add to their decks so that each round is a new tier of challenge. Once a Journey is complete, players will start over again and draft an entirely new deck.
