Tron: Identity is a visual novel developed by Bithell Games. It is set in the Tron franchise.
Gameplay
Players control Query, a sentient program who lives in a virtual world. His job is to determine what caused an explosion in a secure vault. Players encounter other virtual inhabitants and can engage them in conversation. Choices players make in these conversations affect the story. While talking to people, players occasionally need to solve a matching game puzzle to ask further questions.[2]
Development
As a fan of both Tron and Disney parks, Mike Bithell said he said he enjoyed the opportunity to ask Disney writers for their thoughts when he wrote the game.[3] Bithell Games released Tron: Identity on Windows, macOS, and Switch on April 11, 2023.[4]
Reception
Tron: Identity received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[5][6] IGN said it is "well worth playing" but "feels more like a first chapter than a standalone story".[2] Though they called it "beautiful and brilliant in spots", Slant Magazine felt it was "too much like reading a rulebook".[7] The Guardian praised the atmosphere and flexible story, but they said that without its license, it is "a fleeting and unremarkable visual novel".[8] Polygon praised the "dramatically stimulating and entertaining story" and recommended it to both Tron fans and newcomers.[9] GameSpot enjoyed the writing, atmosphere, and world-building, but they felt the game was too short and that the puzzles were too much of an interruption.[10] While praising the game's "unique structure", Game Informer said they did not feel engrossed in the virtual people's problems.[11]
