Triangle Agency Delta Test

This is a demo of Triangle Agency released in 2022. It is an outdated version of the game, but it's accurate to the tone and general play structure. Click the image above if you'd like to buy or read a sample of the full version!

The universe was not meant to be observed. 

Observation is dangerous. Observation creates thought; thought shapes reality. Small distortions in reality caused by its observation are called Anomalies. The Agency exists to identify, apprehend, and, if necessary, eliminate these Anomalies. 

Welcome to your first day at the Triangle Agency! Together we will stabilize reality.

Triangle Agency is a game about wielding enormous power and navigating bureaucratic red tape, all while tending to the obligations present in your personal life. You play as Resonants: human beings who have bonded with Anomalies and gained supernatural powers. The Agency also assigns you with a Competency, which defines the rules by which you are expected to conduct yourself. Of course, every character also has a Reality, which represents the ever-present effects of their personal responsibilities.

Gameplay during this open test period is focused around Anomaly Retrieval Missions, in which Agents are sent to investigate and apprehend Anomalies while keeping Loose Ends to a minimum.

Face the Horror without Fear: Death isn't a setback in Triangle Agency, although the Demerits associated with abusing your Life Insurance will certainly be noted on your Employee Evaluation. We hope you don't get recommended for Probation!

This project is in Open Delta, the purest and most symmetrically balanced of all test editions. We want to share this introductory content with you in order to hear community feedback while we prepare more for the full release!
