If there is some alternate passage into the Breach, we absolutely must find it.

The violent urge to play Axiom Verge 2 instead of facing The Horrors

Anywho I just finished my first playthrough of av, I am in love

[atwas-gaming]

Ok, I played Axiom Verge for a second time, and spoilers for anyone who still hasn't played the game, but...

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh. I get it. I get what happened.

He never went back to Earth.

THIS is where he really is. Fast asleep, wrapped in a Rusalka's embrace, believing that he is living on Earth when he is actually just trapped in a Rusalki "mind world."

They lied to him. They manipulated him. They killed Athetos when they said they would not, and then they said they would send Trace home but they kept him.

That's why going back to his old life felt wrong, because it WASN'T his old life. He's fast asleep on Sudra.

And then there are the additional endings. The "almost true" ending, the one everyone thinks they get when they get over 80% of items, where Trace says he's almost got it. And Athetos shows up, tells him to wake up, and shoots him.

And then the REAL true ending, the one you can only get if you finish the game in under 4 hours, the one I've only seen in videos- where Trace says he actually DID finish. Athetos shows up, obviously still with a gun in his pocket, but does NOT shoot Trace, only says that he can't run from himself.

You know how they say that if you die in a dream, you'll either wake up or die for real?

Athetos shot Trace in the "almost" ending because Trace hadn't quite gotten the answer- but if Trace died in his Rusalka-induced dream, then he would wake up from it. In the true ending, Athetos doesn't need to kill Trace, because if Trace found the answer, found the way back to Sudra, then he already knows that the only way back IS to wake up.

But what still scares me is what Athetos told Trace (screencaps from this video because, like I said, I'm a long way from being able to get the TRUE ending):

Is Athetos saying that Trace really can't be redeemed? That he's doomed to become Athetos, no matter what?

Wanted to draw Trace with an Ace Attorney style. Looks nice but not very AA.

Axiom Verge Fanblog/Archive

Hello, this is a blog I will be using to reblog/archive axiom verge media on tumblr. It will be tagged according to character (e.g. Trace Eschenbrenner), type of media (e.g. fanart and official assets), and any additional content notes (e.g. nudity, body horror).

This blog is for my own archiving/self-indulgence, and will contain spoilers for both games, so tread with caution.

not much to do with him when hes in a hell of your own making

[omusasteelhorn]

Did a variant where he’s wearing his lab coat b/c it probably gets cold on Sudra.  I’m also just practicing how to layer stuff.

[corntort]

what is bro doing ?!

[bright-eyed-dizzy]

boy why you so hair

[quickboot]

I revisited my Trace in Smash Bros fan art from, idk, several years ago, and did a minor edit. I guess when I drew it, I completely forgot about the simple AV logo, and drew Elsenova as an overly complex series symbol.
