TRACHI

Hey friends!

Jolly good greetings, and a big warm welcome to you!😊 Wherever you come from, and whatever you want to be – both of us know life isn't easy.

So let's kick back for a minute and imagine a place! 👀

TRACHI

Very much the same as ours. Joy and misery, and so on. Characters – people, trying to survive. In a world with finite resources and infinite dreams, not everyone's a winner. Someone has to get the short end of the stick. Sometimes, someone has to die.

Fictional History

TRACHI – AUTONOMY illustrated this never-ending struggle through the events of 3 1/2 days in and around a city called Trachi. Following the tracks of three spies from another country, ten years of history converged on a single moment. One moment, and a choice.

Cause and effect

Where there's a choice, there's consequences. For the people involved, and for others too. Regardless, we have to live with it. Everyone who's lost someone can undoubtedly confirm that this sometimes is a terribly painful process.

Accountability

It's no wonder we strive to find an explanation. Where there's suffering, there has be a reason, or at least a cause. Someone – or something – has to be responsible. And if something doesn't present itself, we'll make it up.

## alleluia Within the world of TRACHI, there's a nation called IONIA. Born from a bloody revolution, the country has embraced a fanatical belief in purity. In the eyes of its most ardent believers, the entire cosmos is engulfed by a fire that burns everything in its wake.

T-Day

It's a cute little story, if it weren't for all the violence it justified. To make matters even worse: it's not THAT far from the truth. Following its release in 2019, AUTONOMY received a countless number of updates. Piece by piece, its impurities were burned away, leading to the present state of things.

METAMORPHOSIS

To be honest, it never was easy on me. I love both the characters and the world as if they were family. But the truth of the matter is: They weren't good enough. I always believed TRACHI is a story worthy to be heard. But for that, the characters – the people – had to be better.

A promise

If there really was no other way. If they really were to be erased over and over again, the least I could do is to let them in on it. To grant them knowledge of what they are, the world they live in – and most importantly: the reason why these things are done to them.

Prometheus

You probably guessed from the name of the games, so let me confirm your suspicions: TRACHI is a story about emancipation. Both AUTONOMY and ANARCHY are two steps on a stairway to heaven. Or in our own words: Reality.

ICU2

Between our world and theirs, there's something like a backroom. A frameless void with nothing in it but the things that come and go. Last year, two people came to this place. One of them stayed.

ECSTASY

Said person witnessed a new version of himself. And was – like everything else – consigned to the dustbin of TRACHIAN history. Neither dead nor alive, an entire world is waiting to wake up again.

ANARCHY

As for when that's going to happen: Piece by piece, over the course of the next three years. Most of the core features are already implemented, including primary combat, RPG and dialogue systems.

Burden of proof

But don't take my word for it! There's already more than six hours of devlogs presenting the current state of things. If you'd like to have a look, you can find them on TRACHI's Youtube channel.

People

Tomorrow, for example, we'll even do a double whammy! Kicking things off at 2PM CEST we'll continue our series of character examinations. This time around, we'll take an in-depth look at none other than the white witch of Hermingrad – also known as Daphne.

Devlog 06

Afterwards, we'll do our weekly examination of where we're at in terms of development. This time around, there'll be a focus on UI and combat balance, concluded with a very first peek at ANARCHY's act structure and protagonists.

Conclusion

At any rate, I hope that this little overview gave you a rough idea what TRACHI is about. I'll be back sometime around late July / early August with an introduction of what's coming your way very (!) soon. The 28th August is TRACHI's birthday, after all. 😏

Until then and beyond, I'm more than eager than eager to hear your thoughts either here, via YouTube or Discord.

Either way, I hope you have a great and comfy couple of weeks. 🌴

Much love
