Tron: Identity is a 2023 visual novel puzzle game developed and published by Bithell Games based on the Tron franchise. Set thirteen years after the film Tron: Legacy (2010),[2] the player follows Query, a program who investigates an explosion in The Repository, a building in a backup Grid created by programmer Kevin Flynn intended to house ISOs. His investigation leads him down a path that uncovers many secrets about the world he and other programs inhabit.
Tron: Identity received mixed reception, with many critics praising the story and graphics, but criticized the game's short length.
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.[3]
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.[4] Bithell Games released Tron: Identity on Windows, macOS, and Nintendo Switch on April 11, 2023.[5]
