Re: [Audyssey] Anyone playing timecrest?
I love the game as well! I had to restart it a couple of times but it all leads to the same thing. My furthest chapter is 6 in the last run. Since this new update came out I wanted to see what new things they had in store. -Original Message- From: Dakotah Rickard Sent: Friday, October 14, 2016 5:13 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Anyone playing timecrest?
