The main events in Escape from Cronos X take place in 2491, when humanity has taken a big step forward. We are talking about the fact that people have become cramped on Earth. Therefore, they began to explore the cosmos and the universe, which opened up many possibilities for them. As it turned out, there are other planets that may be habitable. Colonies began to be built there, which had the main goal — the study of the space around them. But it turned out to be a very sad event.
