Trinity (game)

The game character spends his last day of vacation at Kensington Gardens in London . The likelihood of a successful US return flight is decreasing every minute due to a large number of unusual reasons. Hordes of nannies blocked all exits from the Gardens, and the grass actively resists attempts to pass through it. The worst thing is that a reflection of light on the horizon soon reports the appearance of a Soviet missile with a nuclear warhead. As the rocket approaches, time begins to slow down, and having solved small logical problems, the player’s character finds a strange door hanging in the air. The door leads to an unknown destination, but this place is in any case more attractive than the epicenter of an atomic explosion.

The door leads to a strange place where impossible objects exist. Space and time there behave in an unusual way. Exploring this space, the player finds several more strange doors, each of which leads to one of the places associated with the history of atomic weapons. Having visited the test sites (in Siberia , Nevada and on the Eniwetok Atoll), as well as Nagasaki before the atomic bomb detonation, the player has one more possible destination. The last door leads on July 16, 1945 into the desert of the state of New Mexico , a few minutes before the test, which will change the course of history. There is something wrong at the Trinity test site, and tragedy will happen without player intervention.
