Story:
A chance encounter amid the festivities of Guardia's Millennial Fair in Leene Square introduces our young hero, Crono, to a girl by the name of Marle. Deciding to explore the fair together, the two soon find themselves at an exhibition of the Telepod, the latest invention by Crono's longtime friend Lucca. Marle, fearless and brimming with curiosity, volunteers to assist in a demonstration. An unanticipated malfunction, however, sends her hurtling through a rift in the dimensions. Taking hold of the girl's pendant, Crono bravely follows in pursuit. But the world into which he emerges is the one of four centuries before. Journey to the forgotten past, the distant future, and even to the very End of Time. The epic quest to save a planet's future makes history once again.

Please don't buy this version of the game. It's absolutely unplayable. When I finally broke down and looked up why it's apparently the mobile version ported to pc!? Constant frame drops, and crashing. Do not buy!

It pains me to give my favorite game of all time a negative review because of a bad port. They did have some quality of life improvements, but you're still better off playing the original on SNES. These are still plenty
