[[File:robinsonsrequiem_6945.png|frame|..... SESAME UNDER WATCH - CAUSE OF DEATH : VIOLENT TRAUMATISM]]
In the middle of the twenty-second century, humanity continues to flourish... to the point that the Earth and several of its colonies are already over-populated. To try and combat this problem, the AWE ([[Fun
But not all Robinsons get to enjoy this heroes' welcome. Not even if they survive their tour of duty.
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
During their missions, Robinsons can run into all manner of hazards... including unknown virii and potentially dangerous diseases. To ensure there's no risk of others being contaminated, these Robinsons are banished... or worse. You and a few other agents have stumbled across this [[Awful Truth]] -- and your superiors suspect that you've learned too much. For your final mission before your Robinson's Requiem, you are sent to [[Death World|Zarathustra]], a wild planet with no official record of its existence... or anything else.

▲Developed by Silmarils, Robinson's Requiem puts the player in the shoes of Trepliev1, an experienced Robinson on his last mission before retirement. A lot of thought and care went into the survival system, resulting in [[The Many Deaths of You|all sorts of nasty ways to die]], from massive blood loss to food poisoning to hacking off your own limbs.
* {{spoiler|[[A Winner Is You]]}}
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The English in the in-game text and the manual is sometimes really weird, and often just wrong.
** There's also the issue that the actors don't seem to know English, resulting in some hilariously awful [[
* [[The Dog Shot First]]: {{spoiler|To escape the planet, you need to collect the 20 Sesame computer units from the 20 Robinsons previously trapped there. About 2/3rds of the Robinsons are corpses already, but several are still upright and will need to be liberated of their Sesames by force. However, the Robinsons have mostly been driven insane by their time on the planet, and most will turn hostile immediately or shortly after you meet them, so you can kill them in self-defense without any sticky moral ambiguity issues. There are at least 2 Robinsons that need to be outright murdered for their Sesames, though.}}
* [[Death World]]
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Particularly when it comes to trying to kill you.
* [[Eleventh
* [[Energy Weapon]]: There are very few of these, and they're all aimed at you.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: The following list is copied from the manual of the sequel (Deus), but the causes of death are still quite comprehensive:
Line 47 ⟶ 44:
** Overdose: taking too many drugs.
* [[Eye Scream]]: You can lose an eye and live, though it [[Interface Screw|naturally makes it much harder to survive]]. You can also lose ''both'' eyes and live, though likely not for very long...
* [[Fun
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: As the screenshot shows, this is where you go when you die.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Darwin5's presence is technically explained by him being one of the exiled Robinsons, but there's no justification whatsoever for him turning into a werewolf. There are hints that the game was [[Retool|Retooled]] from fantasy to science fiction midway through development (you fight centaurs and goblins, for example), but this is a very flagrant out-of-genre moment.
Line 57 ⟶ 54:
* [[Interface Screw]]: Most of the interface features are provided via your Sesame computer, including such things as the health scanner, the map and your ability to save games. To allow your escape from the planet, you ''have to forfeit it, permanently''.
** You can also end up with one, or both, of your eyes damaged, reducing or eliminating your ability to see. This damage is permanent.
* [[Kill
* [[Let's Play]]: One by Cyberdud, located [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Robinson/ here] in the Let's Play Archive.
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]
Line 68 ⟶ 65:
* [[Retirony]]: [[Invoked]]; Zarathustra is meant to be Tripliev's final mission, one way or another...
* [[That One Level]]: Arguably all of them, but the Desert especially. You dehydrate fast due to the heat, and there are quicksand pits all over that look almost exactly the same as normal ground. You can get around the former by coming by at night, but that makes the quicksand even more difficult to spot.
* [[Unwinnable
