Trails from Zero (opens in new tab) begins near the end, plunging players straight into a thrilling in media res segment without any warning or explanation. The main cast’s all here: the only problem is nobody playing will know who these people are, where they are, or what they’re supposed to be doing. Between all the mentions of places not yet visited and references back to events as yet unseen, anyone picking up Trails from Zero will, at best, be able to tell that the four party members are firm friends willing to dive into dangerous and unknown places for each other’s sake. It seems like whatever lies ahead is sure to be as awe-inspiring as it is deadly.
