Trinea

In this abandoned country, the lives of three characters become entwined.

The thief Zoya make use of the situation to infiltrate the Astral Academy to steal riches.

She discovers an artifact that glues her to the object, unable to move.

Her fate is shared by Amadeus the wizard.

As a light comes from a shrine in the academy, he discovers the thief and makes the same mistake.

Finally there is Pontius the noble knight.

The wizard recalls that the artifact is called The Trine, with the magical power to connect souls.

Against their will, the three characters are now bound in their fate, their lives connected, and need to find a way to undo the powers.

They explore the kingdom, looking for traces of the Guardian who is said to control the powers of The Trine.

Trine is a physics-based action game where the strengths of each of the three characters need to be used cooperatively to complete puzzles and advance.

When playing alone, the player can switch between any of the three characters at any time, but the game can also be played offline with three players simultaneously, each controlling one of the characters on the same screen, similar to the Lost Viking series .

The game uses 2D-sidescrolling gameplay, but with many different layers in the front and the back that provide depth, and a camera that zooms dynamically.

Each of the three characters has specific abilities.

The thief is able to grapple wooden surfaces and uses bow and arrow to attack enemies, or fire arrows to light torches.

The wizard uses his magic to move objects,
