This is the best text based Sci-fi RPG game I have ever played, In terms of being the best RPG it is only a few steps away from being the next Undertale, You already have a fandom, Just make a part 2 and you'll be #1 !!
Wow. This game is incredible. I've played a LOT of IF games and this is one of the very best. I can't believe it's free. The gameplay is simple yet rewarding: I kept expecting it to become a grind, but it never quite reached that point. The world-building is fairly standard sci-fi, but it's pretty well done. The prose itself is functional. There's some small errors here and there. The dialogue is good, and characters feel real and speak naturally.
The narrative, however, is EXCELLENT, and absolutely elevates this game above most others. The plot maintains its sense of mystery the entire way through, with just enough information dished out to keep you interested. The characters are interesting and all-too-likeable. And the dilemmas and decisions have real weight. Especially towards the end. The emotional payoff for spending time with this game was more than worth it: by the end, I was incredibly invested in the outcome, in what would happen to the world and the characters I'd met.
(I've just come back from Ending 12 to write this comment and I'm legitimately still crying.)
I'll be recommending this to anyone who will sit still enough to listen to me.
This is an amazingly beautiful game. I was really moved by all the endings and the story. The game is so well written, I'm not even much of a reader but the game's writing captivated me. An easy 10/10.
Damn, man. I highly recommend it to anyone who's wondering if you should play this or not.
Hey I was thinking of doing a blind review of this game this upcoming week. I do blind reviews of games as part of my channel now. I was thinking of doing it sometime Thursday. If you'd like to be part of the livestream as the dev, if there are some good times for your timezone, let me know before Thursday and we can adjust times.
Hi, that sounds great! That should be Friday morning for me. Feel free to send me any other details (like meeting links, etc) on adam.ryncraft@gmail.com.
Awesome! Here's the link to the video, it will stream live at the specified time. I only played about 10 minutes of your game in anticipation of a possible review and I think it looks really cool:
Feel free to keep this question and post up, I'm happy to answer.
The "Blind Review thing" is a situation in which I'm trying to do reviews on my channel, but pretty raw. If I go into a game totally blind without looking at any of it at all, it might not be ready yet as a game or whatever, and I will try to weed that out.
As for your game, I saw all the comments on it, and I also saw there wasn't a lot of videos for it, and I played for 10 minutes, and already knew it was going to be good. So I want to do a review to get your game more noticed. I am a game developer as well, but I want to review hidden gems. I think your game fits the definition of hidden gem, but I will play your game on Thursday and find out.
Please like and subscribe to our channel as well so you can see our game too. But from seeing the basics of your game, I'm seeing the very fundamentals of RPG's in your game that need to be noticed by other makers of RPG's.
Finished the game today, loved it, here's the last video where I reviewed it. Initially I got Ending 10, which I was satisfied with/ending made sense for how I would be in that position of the Character/outcome I was looking for. I will check out all the other endings too.
beautiful game. ive always loved text-based games and I assumed this one would be your run of the mill sci-fi adventure game. i was wrong, complex characters, backstories, development, and a moral that should be taken to heart are all found within this free game.
I'd write a longer review, but I just finished the game with ending 12 and I'm still trying to get over how good it is sorry.
Might come later once I've settled down to write a comprehensive review, but honestly, I'll probably be too busy completing the rest of the game to do that.
Undoubtedly one of the best games I've ever played, period. A joy from start to finish.
I just started the game but am stuck in the main menu. None of the buttons for my only save slot to set difficulty/settings/etc actually work, and when I select that load slot, the page doesn't update/change with any buttons/links that actually take me to the game itself. What steps am I missing to actually start a new game with my chosen save slot?
Hi Paulineugalde, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble starting the game! If you email me on adam.ryncraft@gmail.com, I can work through some troubleshooting options for you, and see if we can get you started.
This is one of the few things I'm still hyper fixated on, made me feel inclined to write my own playthrough as a way to keep up with the plot (and add some personal flair and head cannons).
It also encouraged me to learn a bit about twine, writing styles and making impactful characters in narratives.
Thank you so much for making this game, the music is one of the few things that helps me feel both relaxed and hyped at the same time.
i'm absolutely inconsolable right now and it is ENTIRELY your fault
all jokes aside though, this is genuinely a masterpiece! i completed all 15 endings on normal in 6 hours (as well as got every achievement bar the hardmode one, entire-game ones, talk option one, and kill option ones), and it was an absolute blast the entire time. i'm gonna finish up the last achievements someday, but reading 200k+ words is a lot so i think i'll maybe update this one last time with that when it happens :P
my one regret is that i got ending 12 first - it naturally feels like it's supposed to be an out of the way one, but i'm a naturally stubborn and determined person so it ended up being the first one i got. i'm absolutely certain that if i'd walked through all of them sequentially, i'd have probably genuinely cried at the end (and i'm chronically emotionally constipated- that's a real feat.)
another game i love (metaware high school (demo)) has one true ending whose impact is fulfilled much more by the generally-fluffy sub-endings alongside it, and while i know that having ending 12 be inaccessible unless all others were completed would be a HUGE drag... hey, i wouldn't be complaining if there was another one added :P!
every ending seems genuinely fulfilling, though, and that's incredibly impressive. not only are they all somewhat hopeful, the message of the game speaks to the never-ending spirit of life (human or otherwise): no matter which ending you get, the plot feels like it's resolved properly. that's really hard to do, from what i can tell, and it's really refreshing when sometimes there's VNs or interactive fiction games whose endings tend towards being "whatever immediately makes sense" - they can be great fun with fluffy stuff, but tend to lose out a bit on the nuance. this game DOESN'T do that, and it's extremely coherent as a result, i think!
plus, you've done an excellent job with every emotional beat - it's only due to meta knowledge that i was able to avoid a likely Bad End in the Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss section, and it was still a crapshoot if i'll be honest. and the description of reactions to traumatic events, emotional digestion, and coping mechanisms is extremely on point with how i'd react personally - i might actually take inspiration or reference for my own writing because it's sorta sparked some ideas in my head.
also trigaea is just incredibly technically impressive - i'm starting out with twine (or i was a few months ago) and i genuinely couldn't imagine how to format most of the things you've done - let alone implement them in a way which is even remotely optimized or reasonable for a janky 2012 laptop to run.
genuinely one of the best games i've played, on top with hacknet and MWHS(D). kudos to your technical skill with coding, game design, and emotional storytelling; your mechanical skill with art, graphic design, and writing, and your empowering model of the world's core issues. you have at least one machine believing in you now!
Ohh my gosh. What an incredible game!! What delightful characters, what a complex and beautiful world. When I started idly browsing the playable-online itch games while procrastinating, I was not expecting to find a game that would completely suck me in for the next two days! I've been delaying studying for an exam but I can't bring myself to regret it at all. Easily one of the most compelling storylines in any game I've played in a long time!
(MILD SPOILERS FOR THE ENDINGS MAYBE? idk, better safe than sorry)
I got ending 11-1 the first time around. I was vibrating with anticipation as soon as I saw the 'reading' option, but I didn't quite figure out where to go from there and just... went to bed haha. A look through the comments led me to ending 12 though! I'll have to check out the other endings soon :D
RynGM, thank you so much for sharing this game! And for free, no less! If you ever decide to charge for this game or any other, I'll happily throw money at you, but in the meantime: thank you thank you thank you!
I never really leave reviews at all. I binged this in one sitting. I had no life. This is one of the most well-written and emotionally-inducing games I have played in a very long time. Incredibly amazing game, I am tearing up writing this because I just got done unlocking all 15 endings. I am emotionally destroyed. Haven't cried over a game in a very long time. Ash will have my heart and so will Esra. I guess throughout all that time I was hoping, somehow, ash became Esra and was looking out for the reader that way. But that will only be in my dreams. Overall 1000/100 recommend playing this.
Incredibly good game, well written, just delightful - and the final choice was so hard! Will be recommending to all my friends - you should be very proud of your work <3
Dude. DUDE! Put this up on steam and CHARGE FOR IT! I don't normally leave comments like this cuz things you can get free aren't big but this was amazing. I spent 2 days straight playing through the first ending. Theres so much work out into this and its great. My only criticism is there seems to be a bug that randomly changes names and gender pronouns as you play before switching to the correct one. But seriously, put it on steam and charge money. You deserve it.
This is honestly one of the best games I've ever played, in any genre. Especially in the sense of storytelling. I appreciate the fact that you made it free because I am a broke teenager lol. But in case I get a job anytime soon, do you have a patreon or something similar?
This quality of work for the price of FREE??? There's so much love and passion going into this and it shows. There are so many interesting concepts to be explored in sci-fi and how ethics and philosophy fit into it--definitely kept me pondering with all the conversations. Haven't gotten all the endings yet but damn, humanity sucks lol
Would there have been no way to ever negotiate peace between the 3 factions? Being a Collector and having helped all 3 factions, wouldn't it be possible to eventually bring all three to some kind of common ground or shared benefits?
UPDATE TWO DAYS AGO? I KNOW I HAVE ALREADY LEFT COMMENTS, REVIEWS AND ON ANOTHER GAME OF YOURS TOO BUT NOW I GOTTA PLAY AGAIN AND SOMEONE SAID NEW MEMORIES??? GOTTA PLAY GOTTA PLAY AGAIN OK I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING TODAY
does the trophy for "unlock all endings to Trigaea" require bad endings too? because I have 100% the ending screen and I have not received that trophy.
I also did not get the trophy for "get all optional memories using the progenitor" even though I have gone through endings that require me to do so already.
Hey A-wq! No, the achievement does not require bad endings. Can you save your game to disk and send it to me on adam.ryncraft@gmail.com? That way I can take a look under the hood and see what's going on. Apologies for the issue!
So i uh deleted the save files with the delete all button a few hour ago since i plan on running hard without new game+ and didn't think the save files are needed and the most recent "download to disk" save that i did was before the update.
Can I random save a run and send to you or do i need to get to a certain point then do that?
I'm not sure how the save system work so i don't know what i suppose to do.
never have finished it but love it and how lovingly accessible with a screen reader this is. omg. something i can pickup and play without modding. earthstone stardew valley and others i am looking at you!
Made an account just to say how great this game is. I'd say the story was fab aaand never too... much, as in it never felt like overwhelming walls of text but a good chunky story and a complelling mystery. Great sci-fi world and great creatures. The ability to build your character in different, weird ways was great. The relationships and tricky decisions were compelling. Thanks so much for that.
Probably the third person to make an account just to comment on this, but after finishing the game, I just had to do it.
The story was absolute bangers, the blend between the emotional parts and other things was something I enjoyed a crap ton, and the ending I got (12) really got me, which not many pieces of media(of any sort) manage to do. I loved learning about the world, and I especially liked the small details, like why the Ru'ul first seemed to know us, which gets explained later on, and other stuff.
The only few gripes I had about the game were few- in some story battles, even after choosing a different option, the end scenario reverses to me being lethal, and the roguelike element got a bit grindy, but that could just be me playing safe.
All in all, 9.5/10 game and 10/10 story, hope the author is working on something else(or adding more content to this one!)
Damn. You fucking nailed it with this game. Just finished after 3 days of obsessively playing it. Some really classic enjoyable scifi stuff going on here. The best moments I think were just all the character building and relationships and piecing together the mystery. So much fun!!! Also really great audio!
This game will make you feel love, anger, sadness, grief, and so many other complex emotions. I played to the end, mine was Ending 5, which I was happy with. I thought that it was beautiful that Ash, in a way, kept me alive through Esra & Gabriel. This game has definitely given me a lot to think about and will definitely stick in my mind for quite a long time. 10/10 a beautiful game!
I finally got all 12 endings. I couldn't stop until I did. Such a beautiful piece of writing, I couldn't stop trying to solve the mysteries of where Ash and Leon were. Like everyone else, I'm having an existential crisis. It was exactly the immersive experience I was hoping for. Just in love with the world of Trigaea, I can't say it enough. Thank you <3
Ight just like the other person in the comments I simply had to make an account to say how great this game is. Just finished it like an hour and a half ago and I'm still weaving in and out of an existential crisis from the endings I got after refusing to accept the one I first got. Love it when a work can do that to me. If you're reading this, Ryn, I'm really hoping you're still working on that 1.2 version, also hoping this blows up more, it really deserves it. I was intrigued and excited to learn more of the story, characters and setting the entire way through. Spoiler warning for this next bit. The fact the whole books being incorrect bit was foreshadowed way back and I had an actual flashback to it irl tipping me off to what was happening near the ending I got was pure genius, I'm glad you didn't do an in game flashback and instead chose to reward players for paying attention throughout the game like this. 9/10 only because I've yet to find a way to marry Esra.
Amazing game! SPOILERS AHEAD: I chose the alien people. I mean, if I chose humans then that'd just be colonising all over again! I forgot to save at some of the points so I likely won't get all the endings, but i'm happy of which ones I achieved.

Hey I was thinking of doing a blind review of this game this upcoming week. I do blind reviews of games as part of my channel now. I was thinking of doing it sometime Thursday. If you'd like to be part of the livestream as the dev, if there are some good times for your timezone, let me know before Thursday and we can adjust times.
I was tentatively planning to do it at 12PM on Thursday (GMT -8), Pacific Standard Time (PST). Also here's my channel:

Hi Psychronic! I haven't gotten an email yet, so I'll just ask questions here and delete this post later. :)
1. What exactly is a blind review? I'm guessing from context that it's a review when you haven't played much of the game?
2. How am I going to log in and interact with your livestream? Just in the chat comments?
3. Is there anything else I should know about, in terms of how long you'll be reviewing, or things you might ask?
Thanks in advance!
Feel free to keep this question and post up, I'm happy to answer.

crying like a baby. I became waaaaaayyyyy too emotionally attached to Esra. I want to get more endings, but I can't get myself to hurt anyone.
i'm absolutely inconsolable right now and it is ENTIRELY your fault
all jokes aside though, this is genuinely a masterpiece! i completed all 15 endings on normal in 6 hours (as well as got every achievement bar the hardmode one, entire-game ones, talk option one, and kill option ones), and it was an absolute blast the entire time. i'm gonna finish up the last achievements someday, but reading 200k+ words is a lot so i think i'll maybe update this one last time with that when it happens :P

Thank you very much RynGM!
this game made me tear up lmao. I did all the endings...Yeah, I won't tell you the details, play the game yourself. It's excellent.
I never really leave reviews at all. I binged this in one sitting. I had no life. This is one of the most well-written and emotionally-inducing games I have played in a very long time.

Dude. DUDE! Put this up on steam and CHARGE FOR IT! I don't normally leave comments like this cuz things you can get free aren't big but this was amazing. I spent 2 days straight playing through the first ending. Theres so much work out into this and its great. My only criticism is there seems to be a bug that randomly changes names and gender pronouns as you play before switching to the correct one. But seriously, put it on steam and charge money. You deserve it.
This is honestly one of the best games I've ever played, in any genre. Especially in the sense of storytelling. I appreciate the fact that you made it free because I am a broke teenager lol. But in case I get a job anytime soon, do you have a patreon or something similar?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) I don't have a patreon, I get paid in nice comments like these!
This quality of work for the price of FREE??? There's so much love and passion going into this and it shows. There are so many interesting concepts to be explored in sci-fi and how ethics and philosophy fit into it--definitely kept me pondering with all the conversations. Haven't gotten all the endings yet but damn, humanity sucks lol
Would there have been no way to ever negotiate peace between the 3 factions? Being a Collector and having helped all 3 factions, wouldn't it be possible to eventually bring all three to some kind of common ground or shared benefits?
Maybe try refusing to help any of the individual groups. See what happens next.
I hate reading,
but I loved this game.
Go play it.
Now.
UPDATE TWO DAYS AGO? I KNOW I HAVE ALREADY LEFT COMMENTS, REVIEWS AND ON ANOTHER GAME OF YOURS TOO BUT NOW I GOTTA PLAY AGAIN AND SOMEONE SAID NEW MEMORIES??? GOTTA PLAY GOTTA PLAY AGAIN OK I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING TODAY
It's all part of my evil plan! :D
It is very clever haha!
I'm loving these new memories.
does the trophy for "unlock all endings to Trigaea" require bad endings too? because I have 100% the ending screen and I have not received that trophy.
I also did not get the trophy for "get all optional memories using the progenitor" even though I have gone through endings that require me to do so already.

If you shoot me an email, we can chat it out! :) Debugging via the comments section is going to leave a massive thread.
never have finished it but love it and how lovingly accessible with a screen reader this is. omg. something i can pickup and play without modding. earthstone stardew valley and others i am looking at you!
this needs to be a fully 3d game
As others have said, this game absolutely slaps. Adam Ipsen, you sir, are a legend.
WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THIS GAME FREE
Ur a beast, great job.
Made an account just to say how great this game is.
I'd say the story was fab aaand never too... much, as in it never felt like overwhelming walls of text but a good chunky story and a complelling mystery. Great sci-fi world and great creatures.
The ability to build your character in different, weird ways was great. The relationships and tricky decisions were compelling.
Thanks so much for that.
(too long, couldn't stop myself lol)

I finally got all 12 endings. I couldn't stop until I did. Such a beautiful piece of writing, I couldn't stop trying to solve the mysteries of where Ash and Leon were. Like everyone else, I'm having an existential crisis. It was exactly the immersive experience I was hoping for. Just in love with the world of Trigaea, I can't say it enough. Thank you <3
Ight just like the other person in the comments I simply had to make an account to say how great this game is. Just finished it like an hour and a half ago and I'm still weaving in and out of an existential crisis from the endings I got after refusing to accept the one I first got. Love it when a work can do that to me. If you're reading this, Ryn, I'm really hoping you're still working on that 1.2 version, also hoping this blows up more, it really deserves it. I was intrigued and excited to learn more of the story, characters and setting the entire way through. Spoiler warning for this next bit. The fact the whole books being incorrect bit was foreshadowed way back and I had an actual flashback to it irl tipping me off to what was happening near the ending I got was pure genius, I'm glad you didn't do an in game flashback and instead chose to reward players for paying attention throughout the game like this. 9/10 only because I've yet to find a way to marry Esra.
Made an itch account just to tell people to try this game, it's worth your time!
Oh wow, I really appreciate you going to that effort! <3
Amazing game! SPOILERS AHEAD: I chose the alien people. I mean, if I chose humans then that'd just be colonising all over again! I forgot to save at some of the points so I likely won't get all the endings, but i'm happy of which ones I achieved.
I've completed it finally! This game is seriously amazing!
i like how an ending mindfucked me. It's amazing
Yeah... This is one of my new favorite games. My heart is just the right amount of broken. Amazing work and thank you for making this!
