'The True' is a new [adventure game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-wield) that was created as a spinoff of 'Laws of Machine,' a 2018 game that focuses on an AI corporation called Robotech.

In The True, players will act as Sarah, a young woman who must find out what's happened in the Robotec lab. To do so, players will have to fight their way through while solving a variety of puzzles. Sarah can use a teleport gun when needed, allowing her to move, freeze, and burn objects. In addition to solving the mystery that shrouds the Robotec lab, players will need to uncover who Sarah really is and how she relates to the futuristic world.

Developed and published by Badri Bebua, The True is available on [PlayStation 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forensic-investigation-game) and [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deathloop-1) Windows.
