6 itemsAbout the Game
It is year 10026. You are an anthropod, a life form crafted by mysterious fractal intelligence. Your objective is to save the ones who are stuck on an uninhabited tropical planet. Persuade, charm, manipulate: use your ultimate power—freedom of choice—in sci-fi role playing hyper variative game LOCUS EQUATION.
Six inner voices follow your path—six facets of your persona, acting as counselors, companions, or sometimes rivals. Every choice you make strengthens the voice you listen to, making its hold even stronger.
Brand-new science-fiction story
Dive into multi-layered lore of LOCUS EQUATION, where scattered remnants of fractal artificial intelligence coexist in socio-political symbiosis with organics. Confront moral dilemmas and profound questions of free will, and discover a fresh perspective on consciousness and artificial intelligence.
Unique character progression system
Every thing you say, every decision you make, paints a vivid stroke on the living canvas of your character’s personality. Persuasion, pragmatism, empathy, whining, or even pessimism—level up qualities, not just some numbers, through 3 interlinked leveling progression systems and more than 50 traits.
Zero-risk psychological sandbox
LOCUS EQUATION dives deep into human psychology, exploring the moral complexities of future human-artificial intelligence relationships. Created in collaboration with cognitive science advisors, it provides a safe environment to explore new selves and see how the world reacts.
Detailed, meticulously handcrafted world
Every character, building, and little thing is created from scratch, emphasizing the unique charm of the LOCUS EQUATION world. Every leaf, blade of grass, and beam of a local red dwarf star is artistically arranged to create an enigmatic alien jungle experience.
Deep conversations with memorable characters
Engage in dynamic conversations with charismatic yet sometimes melancholic survivors: more than thirty characters, each with their own secrets, aspirations, motives. Listen to their tales, debate or seduce them, weave intrigues, and navigate the social landscape to find loyal friends or earn relentless enemies.
Super-swift loading and saving system
Pressed the wrong dialogue option (kind of)? Rewind the game to the needed branching point in no time—no loading screens. Explore endless "what if?" scenarios... Or activate no-rollback mode for an extra thrill!
