What is it about?
Subsurface Circular comes from the makers of Thomas Was Alone, and share similar fleshed out characters. Thomas Was Alone crafts distinct personalities into 2D shapes, and Subsurface Circular takes it up a notch with even more well rounded characters even if they’re just various robots. The entirety of the text is presented as conversations from the different Q & As you pursue. It all comes down to unlocking “focus points”, which are used to ask different questions. For example, you can get a focus point of “disappearances”, and then ask that to different Teks to try to glimmer more about that point. Even though the game is text based, there is an ornate 3D subway that acts as the backdrop to the text.
