Now a journey from that aforementioned forest to town involves weaving through a maze-like combat zone of potential random encounters.

The rest probably lead to Minotaurs.Įxpanding on exploration also brings drudgery. Tiles on the left can branch off in multiple directions. You get to be proactive and seek out events rather than wait for the right ones to fall into your eager lap.

There’s more depth to travelling and continuity on a fixed map. TiTS adds a grid of connected tiles that can actually be navigated. With the exception of dungeons, exploration is just a single button press that cycled through area-appropriate events. That game is set in a place where time and distance has no meaning (Wales?), going from a haunted forest to an ancient city instantaneously. As if you would.ĬoC’s design was so relaxed players could continue playing even if they’d lost the capacity for rational thought. So now imagine a purple gelatinous six-legged triple-breasted winged bull centaur … oh and don’t forget the bunny ears. Body modifications are back and are readily available to the galaxy’s inhabitants. Well hold onto your butts (and not just because of the aforementioned pile driving) because there’s more. I can already hear veteran fanfiction writers bragging about how they've been dreaming up such debauchery for years. And even after absorbing this information, a spectacular imagination is required to pull off a love scene between what is at rough guess, a purple six-legged bull centaur and that dragon from The NeverEnding Story.Īn entry on humans for anyone who either doesn't own a mirror, or happens to be a vampire (in which case a/s/l?) What is a Leithan and how does it mate with a Fanfir? This game gives you an idea through exhaustive encyclopaedic entries reaching upwards of a thousand words each. Offering much more than CoC’s default human, the choices here extend to Kaithrit and Leithan, among others. The first screen of Trials in Tainted Space ( TiTS) is the character creation page with a selection of race options. We've gone from a planet to a galaxy, removing what little restrictions there were in regards to creature design.

Trials in Tainted Space takes the gloves off. Creatures like the Minotaur are so iconic, it isn't difficult to imagine one pile driving your character’s lusty hindquarters into the centre of the earth. CoC’s monsters are recognizable animals crossed with human DNA or common fantasy fare. It quickly becomes apparent this is going to be even more ambitious than Corruption of Champions.
