"...a virus that will revoke our ability to be violent."
Genuinely... I'm not sure how I could see this as bad, like if no one could be violent, no one would need to be violent, right? The only downside I see to this, I guess, would be if another invasive species arrives to Trigaea and decides to take advantage of us due to our inability to be violent.
On my first playthrough, I sided with the X'irii because I didn't fully comprehend from Leon what Gabriel was trying to do, but now this is my second playthrough and I think I would definitely side with Gabriel over Leon. Isn't it basically world peace?
Also, it would be nice if on the endings screen, we could read a short transcript of the events of each ending we've achieved, with the respective Corrector title too.
i love this game yet i wish there were more indepth quests, hidden lore and more spicy enconters it's a lovely story yet a bit empty (npcs..) especially to it's end
Not sure if this is still being updated. But buying the quartz chip from the machines ends up with conversation referencing quite a few things that I hadn't encountered yet.
Found an error on the second trip with Shay when talking about power armor. "she says, tapping the side of his chest." The Shay in my game was a woman that his is probably misplaced pronoun variable.
I don't know what's going on here. But something isn't right.
"since shedid move in with his partner. He was a pretty great neighbour, and they're hard to find, so I'd grab you before some other Marshall snagged you up.""
This game is a story that implores one to reflect about mortality, civilization, governance ethics, loss, space and what time is for us.
An absolutely fantastic game. I spend more time than I should have out of my nights and weekend playing this game.
It is a great game and has a touching immersive story. I had multiple moments where I almost took a step back from it, but feared too much, that I wouldn't dare return. (got all achievements (mostly in order) except for the difficulty and violent ones (True Pacifist! (with the exception of Story forced on stuff))) (sorry for the '(' and ')' "non [maths or programming or logic]" people (did this 'sorry' become worse than the actual sentence???))
Anyways, I particularly like Endings 2,3,4,11.4,12 and 5
2,3,4 are like watching seeds grow, 11.4 and 12 are nicely hidden
Tried to keep the following as spoiler free as possible regarding ending 5, though my following reflection about it containshighly vague - indirect references
5 for me is the most outstanding one, as it offers me the most food for thoughts, as it is not an ending I particularly would hope to see, but it seems the best between probability and goodness. It seems almost european in the way it handels things, though the path towards it is questionable. Another thing to think about is how it deals with its scars. It may very well be highly unstable (as pointed out in the ending itself) but it may just as much be the one with the most long-term stability, if one can deal with it's scars. Reflecting on it, the easiest and most stable solution would be the precise one that it prevents. At the same time it doesn't prevent "happy little accidents" like people working independently to increase the risk of something like ending 6 or the in story end. Another thing is the risk of an ending 6 that it may create. Similarly would one need to prevent an undoing of ending 5 which would itself would need to be prevented, limiting quiet a lot more than what ending 5 itself may imply. What I do believe however, is that what the last scene of said ending shows is unavoidable to deal with its scars. It is something I would love to go deeper into (like the need of binding referenda and initiatives), but that alone is too much.
After all this again, Thank you for creating and sharing this great interactive story with us. For you writing this story, I believe writing my thoughts and thanks is the least I can do. (it merely has a length of roughly 0.165% of the story)
Hey just wanted to say i love this game have played it time and time again for a few years now, and its one of the only games i can remember and try to find again when i haven't played for a long while as i love how is written. (hope this does not sound cheesy but i really just love this game :D)
this game has been really incredible so far, i was sort of skeptical with it being a text based thing with little visual representation, but honestly it has held up very well. the story is super enticing, throws you for loops frequently, and forces you to make decisionns that at the very least feel like a big deal. the upgrade system is fun although id like if there were more times that the protagonist is using their upgrades. i think something this game could also heavily benefit from would be to make more varied fights that force you to use both ranged and close ranged equipment and your grenades. also having more encounters in the game would make it feel much less dry to grind especially if there were some more area based encounters. there were some problems however when it just came down to spelling mistakes, inncorrect pronoun usage, and the audio seeming to skip and replay frequentl
Just asking but is there a doc showing the story behind all the endings.... im too lazy to play all of them and figure out which leads to which ;;;;;;;
Hi! There's a spoiler-free walkthrough on how to get each ending, but not a tl;dr guide on what they are. That's because I hate spoilers more than River Song. :D
This game is a moving, absolute masterpiece. The setting, the visuals, the characters and plot, the slowly awakened purposes...
Everything is simply beautiful.
This game raises considerable questions about morality, identity, hope and compassion, and the elements are woven together carefully into captivating, poetic endings that compels you to keep coming back, to uncover more choices, to explore more corners of this vast, broken yet thriving world.
I love how the story, even in just a small part, utilized the game mechanic of saving and backup files as furnishing to the story - incorporating the game medium while leaving the 4th wall intact.
The way the story navigates through exposures of pain, loss and hope as you regain memory after memory and ultimately to awareness of your duty, your purpose as the Corrector and then make difficult decisions on how to carry out your responsibility is really a gripping and heart-rendering process.
My first ending was ending 10, and there was one ending which I reloaded my save to get to which breaks the game's whole layer of reality and tops it off with another surreal crisis. Still my favorite one.
The technical side is just as amazing. The dystopian/ scifi art is charming and fits well with the story, the use of creative designs and stylizations with the text, text box and interface results in a tone that can be futuristic and a number of emotional states.
To conclude, definite recommendation for people who enjoy the scifi/ dystopian genre and exploration of existential dilemmas, as well as an intense, heartfelt narrative.
If a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant will be eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. So in order to maintain a tolerant society, a society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
This was a fantastic experience and surpassed all my expectations. The quartz chips, the books (especially those last ones!) and some of the endings really caught me off-guard with how well written, evocative and profound they were for a free browser game. The game gives some insights into human nature and realtionships that I haven't encountered in any other book or game yet, which are very worthwhile to ponder. I also especially loved all the interactions with Esra, pretty much my only criticism would be that I wish there were even more options to converse with her, which is just more praise in disguise :) If the creator of the game would provide an option, I'd gladly donate a token of appreciation, as it stands I can only rate the game 5 stars and give my highest recommendation to anyone reading this to play the game for yourself.
Hello! This is a game that I really, really loved.
Back in tumblr other IF authors warned about a site that has started to appear that is hitching on some of the IFs present here in Itch, as if it was made by this site, and Trigaea is one of the IFs they put up there. I'm informing you through here because it's the only way I know how.
The site is called Citron Games and it has citron-apps in the link; some other authors reported it appearing in the game analytics here in itch.io.
I just finshed the game and unlocked all endings. My favorite ending was 11-3 and this story really well made and I enjoyed it so much. I would play this again years later

This doesn't look right. "the loser had to shout the winner a chicken dinner."
I don't know what's going on here. But something isn't right.

Minor spelling error. I'll just edit this comment instead of spamming more of these from now on.

Hi Arcanestomper. There is a bug report feature in the game, which is the best way to send these through. Thanks for reporting these! :)
Aye, if I see anything else I'll report them properly.
I heard moral dilemmas and came running
Also I've been avoiding this game on my FYP because I just know it's going to raise my video game standard exponentially

i really like the bgm of the game...wonder if there a playlist somewhere
This game is really good. I played it years ago and it stuck in me. Must be one of the best games in the World.
Hi, did you stop game dev all together? bc when looking at your games last updated game was in 2021 (apart from Trigaea)
Nope! I'm still working on games. I just like to wait until something is fairly along before I announce or release it. :)
this game has been really incredible so far, i was sort of skeptical with it being a text based thing with little visual representation, but honestly it has held up very well. the story is super enticing, throws you for loops frequently, and forces you to make decisionns that at the very least feel like a big deal. the upgrade system is fun although id like if there were more times that the protagonist is using their upgrades. i think something this game could also heavily benefit from would be to make more varied fights that force you to use both ranged and close ranged equipment and your grenades. also having more encounters in the game would make it feel much less dry to grind especially if there were some more area based encounters. there were some problems however when it just came down to spelling mistakes, inncorrect pronoun usage, and the audio seeming to skip and replay frequentl
Could you make it so we can import game data across devices (i have 2 different computers and this is a bit of a long game)
If you export your save file, you should be able to import it on another computer. :)
Thanks!
Just asking but is there a doc showing the story behind all the endings.... im too lazy to play all of them and figure out which leads to which ;;;;;;;
(it would be helpful if there was one)
Hi! There's a spoiler-free walkthrough on how to get each ending, but not a tl;dr guide on what they are. That's because I hate spoilers more than River Song. :D

.... I tried ending 12.... big mistake (I'm in tears right now)

one of my all time favorite games. It's been a while since I've been this immersed in a fictional world. definitely recommended!
If a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant will be eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. So in order to maintain a tolerant society, a society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

Please have a nice month.
This game has ruined my standards forever. Fuck me. It's too good. 😭
Is there romance here
YES!
I just finshed the game and unlocked all endings. My favorite ending was 11-3 and this story really well made and I enjoyed it so much. I would play this again years later
Wait. How is this free? I'm supposed to pay for this level of quality. Artists should not starve.
