The Trials

Part I of the Square Saga: The Trials. Your worldview as a Square is very narrow; dig, find, fight. You belong to one of the many rival clans which scour the ancient sphere, known as Earth, at the behest of your spherical overlord. Though the Spheres desire knowledge acquired from artifacts that the ancients left behind, you know only battle.

For you, each new day is a new trial; a testing of your your ability to dig through the post-apocalyptic Earth, to master the art of wielding rock cannons and uranium powered lasers, to consume a multitude of power-drinks without losing control, and ultimately, to vanquish your rival.

Do you have what it takes to rise to the top of your clan?

In a universe governed by spherical overlords, where unbroken curvature and roundness reign supreme, a small race of Squares struggles to survive. For generations, the Squares have endured a harsh existence, forced to dig, find, and fight amongst themselves for the advancement of the Spheres.

The Spheres' desire is to unravel the knowledge and mysteries of the ancient ones; and no greater mystery did the ancients leave than that of "The Portal", an interstellar door which, to date, cannot be opened. Will the key to the portal ever be found? Will the Squares ever rise above their daily trials and inter-clan warfare? What happened to the ancients? Will the shapes of the universe meet the same fate?
