Two lifelong friends start a rogue operation to take down a recently throned tyrant— who they instantly recognize as the missing link from their trio of childhood friendship.
Geometry was one of the first RPG Maker projects I planned back in late 2012. I keep redoing the plot so there's only main themes right now.
Triangle, Square, and Circle are childhood friends during the past timeline. They hang out and play games together and go to the same school and are a declared trio of best friends, until not much later their families move to different locations and they eventually lose touch of one another.
The player controls Triangle during the childhood portion and interacts with Square and Circle and other characters, and the integrity of these actions influences whether the current timeline is Realm A or Realm B.
The current timeline takes place when the main three, Triangle, Square, and Circle, are in their late 20s to early 30s. There are some consistencies between Realm A and Realm B. Triangle rises to power as the leader of their nation, and whether it's his intention or not, many regions suffer, the regime is exceedingly strict, and thus Circle and Square become renegade fighters in The Resistance with the motive of displacing him and installing a new, just government.
Circle and Square only meet again by joining the same group by chance, and neither of them recognize Triangle until they come face to face with him much later. Crescent and Star join the party at later points; neither of them had appearances in the past timeline.
REALM A
In this realm, Triangle strives to create a utopia for his citizens, but his idealism and naivety prevents him from seeing the problems he causes. He's big on public appearances and supposed transparency in his early ruling years, but problems down the line cause him to only give false, faceless morale boosts to his people, and keep his future plans under wraps.
The Resistance has more diplomatic methods of abdicating Triangle in Realm A, but his guards working closely under him make it hard to get an audience with him. Or, you can be an asshole and bust your way in and threaten him.
REALM B
In this realm, Triangle rules based on his own selfish whims and want for power. He's careful to keep things running smoothly enough in regions that his people don't cause uprisings, but other than that, he knowingly neglects basic duties of the nation. His empire is built on fear, except for his high ranked officials, who are loyal because of bribes.
The Resistance deals with Realm B Triangle through force, and gets fewer chances to speak to him one-on-one to reason things.
