Happy Valentine’s Day! We thought we’d do something a little special this year to show our appreciation for everyone’s support. As a token of our gratitude, we present to you the official Chasm Instruction Booklet! Inspired by the games we grew with, it contains everything from control diagrams to tips and tricks (and don’t forget that all important Notes page). We hope you enjoy!
