The Reconstruction / Videogame	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Reconstruction is a very atypical RPG from Tilde-One Games. The author describes that his intention in making this game was to defy convention at every turn — both in Eastern RPG gameplay and Heroic Fantasy writing.The story is set in a seemingly-peaceful world that is full of turmoil under the surface. Three species live in a rough and unhappy coexistence in the world along with humans: fih'jik, cat-like humanoids who are very religious and devoted to the Supreme One, despite her apparently turning her back on them in a catastrophe known as "the Blackening"; fortians, similar to humans in appearance, but extremely stoic and scientifically-minded, with exceptional magical talent; and shra, Lizard Folk who cannot use magic, and are reviled and enslaved because of it.The story focuses on Dehl Sikohlon, a shra of the peaceful Sikohlon clan. He's devoted his life to repaying the kindness the city of Wadassia has shown him with civil service as a city guard. To further this goal, he comes up with the idea to make a guild — a band of heroes — who go around doing tasks that ordinary people cannot, such as slaying monsters. Dehl's guild eventually traverses the entire world, exposing and mitigating the problems that each species face, with varying results. Further compounding problems is the existence of a mysterious woman known as Fell, who claims to receive messages from a divine being she calls "The Voice Himself". She seems to have even greater plans in store for Dehl and his guild, dispersing cryptic clues throughout his journey. But can she be trusted, and does she really know as much as she claims?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })It can be downloaded here. A prequel, I Miss the Sunrise, can be found here. A semi-sequel, The Drop, can be found here. The fourth game, How Far, was in development until the creator had put it on an indefinite hiatus to focus on his first commercial project, The Tenth Line (see here). Some data on How Far can be still found here.For those interested, the creator has posted a load of trivia about the game on his blog. Beware of spoilers, obviously.Has a wiki here.Is not related to the 6th season in the web series Red vs. Blue.

This is rather odd, considering that there was a graphic Family-Unfriendly Death not much earlier, plus the fact that the game has no reason to pretend it's still a happy-go-lucky family-friendly adventure story at that point. Although, it could be a way of showing that the extremely dark tone of chapter 6 is finally over, and that the story is now going to return to a more lighthearted state.

Also, you failed to stop Donz from activating the pillars, so civilization has been nearly wiped out. So, instead of going along with Fell's advice, the rest of the game revolves around stopping the Big Bad and trying to reconstruct civilization.

In the ending, the slider jumps back to the idealistic end; all the characters come to terms with their Dark And Troubled Pasts (albiet not completely in some cases) and civilization is rebuilt. However, it doesn't dial all the way back; how can it, after everything the player has seen? This is demonstrated by Dehl having the realization that he cannot do everything and save everyone; sometimes, the only option is for the people to save themselves.

The Reconstruction / Videogame / int_38047858	comment	Squishy Wizard: Lots of 'em. Thankfully, you can just upgrade their defense until they suffer Scratch Damage from most Body attacks, and you most likely will do so, as there is not much else to do with the essence type of their Dump Stat. Subverted hugely by the fact they usually have stellar Mind or Soul stats. If you stab them they'll die, but they'll be able to easily shrug off that spell that just decimated your not-so-sturdy fighter. Also subverted by the fortians. Everything in the narration points to them being this, but oddly enough, Soul is their Dump Stat, not Body. (This is probably supposed to imply that their logical-minded ways of thinking inhibit their emotional and spiritual strength.) Fih'jik do have Body as their Dump Stat, but they tend to be Fragile Speedsters instead.

The Reconstruction / Videogame / int_3b79029a	comment	Crapsaccharine World: The world looks innocuous enough at first, but the more you explore it, the more you realize just how messed up it is. Here's a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of reveals: Chapter 1: Wadassia is practically the only country in the known world that can grow food, so the welfare of all other places is placed into one basket — a basket that hangs by a thread. Chapter 2: A large portion of the populace is poverty-stricken, and forced to live in the slums of Nal. Also, the large lagoon in which the game takes place is the only habitable area in the world — everywhere else is just ocean as far as the eye can see. This will no doubt lead to painful population plateaus. Chapter 3: The Fortian Councillords economically control the rest of the world through monopolization of magical artifacts, and kill anyone who is a threat to their stability. Chapter 4: The Fantastic Racism against shra is so bad that their own kind sell each other into slavery to make ends meet. Chapter 5: The fih'jik cling to their warlike religion, refusing to let those in Do'Ssha live in peace. Warfare is so frequent that their continent earned a nickname that basically means "bloody sands". The Knight Templar leader of Kir'Ssha even commits suicide because he knows it's the only way to stop the war...temporarily, at least. Chapter 6: And none of that even matters, because Havan razed the entire world to the ground because you let him! Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!!

The Reconstruction / Videogame / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Scope; the necessity to understand all sides of the story and the full truth before one can make the correct decision, and the danger of jumping to conclusions. However, you must acquire the necessary knowledge without also losing sight of what is truly important. This is strongly represented by the Multiple Endings; if you get the normal ending, your scope stays in place, and does not expand. In the Golden Ending, your scope explodes, as you realize the story was Science Fiction all along, not Fantasy. It seems like I Miss the Sunrise is continuing in this vein. It is likely to be the theme that ties together the trilogy.

There are a few quests with greater consequences for failure, but the game doesn't end, the quest just restarts (to quote Ques: "Let's just pretend that never happened, shall we?"). The only way to get a true game over is to lose to a boss fight, and even then, only if you refuse to retry. Curiously, this does not apply to the Final Boss; your party members will literally stand back up and keep fighting if everyone is defeated. The boss regenerates all their health, though. This is probably because the normal penalty for losing to a boss (loss of essence rewards) is meaningless against the final one.

The Reconstruction / Videogame / int_9f7b20af	comment	Late Character Syndrome: The stat problems are averted; even characters who join in the final chapter are pretty useful, since the stat growth system allows them to catch up very quickly. However, due to each character being tactically unique, you'll most likely develop a general strategy with each character having an essential, individual role, so late characters like Yfus might have bad chances of becoming members of your active party. In general, the higher your difficulty, the worse this will be, since the later characters are balanced for what your rank would be on a normal-difficulty run. If you've set everything to max, you'll probably have received all possible rank-up bonuses by the time you recruit the last three characters—meaning they won't gain any of the skill points they'd have gotten from being in your party when you ranked up.

The boss regenerates all their health, though. This is probably because the normal penalty for losing to a boss (loss of essence rewards) is meaningless against the final one.

Fih'jik, being extremely pious and religious, have enough faith and confidence to have nearly unbreakable will and resolve, so they have the highest Soul values. However, they are Fragile Speedsters compared to the other species, meaning they have the lowest Body values. Shra are stated to be extremely tough and have the ability to recover from wounds quickly, therefore they have the highest Body values.

This is violated a few times, though you still can't ever control more than six characters at once. Zig zagged later, though. After Wadassia is reduced to ruins and Dehl, the only person who's really been enforcing the rule, has a Freak Out! and turns into The Berserker... You are still restricted to six party members at a time. At that point, the game comes with another explanation that might or might not work.
