Two Versions, Two Fates

In Birds in the Trap, the game exists in two realities—two parallel experiences of survival, power, and conflict.

• The Paid Version grants you the complete, unrestricted journey.
• The Free Version is its shadow—a realm where existence is defined by conflict, deception, and subjugation.

These two editions represent alternate realities within the same overarching world. Two versions, one game. Choose your path, and define your fate.

Paid Version: The Architects

You wield the full power to shape the future of Burundi 419.

• Freedom to Explore: Engage with every facet of the game world, from solo ventures to alliance-building.
• Complete Story: Experience all narrative content, side missions, and deeper lore that underpins the colony’s struggle.
• Build & Conquer: Construct bases, establish your legacy, and decide the fates of those around you.
• Faction Influence: Align yourself with different factions on your terms, rising to positions of authority that alter the course of the game.

You are more than a survivor—you are the architect of your own power.

Free Version: The Forsaken

In this ruthless reality, you subsist at the mercy of the Architects.

• Locked into Multiplayer: Your progress depends on taking what you need from the paid-tier worlds through raids, invasions, or cunning diplomacy.
• Desperate Survival: You cannot build—only seize or scavenge. Your every action is a gamble for resources.
• Predator or Servant: Choose to serve more powerful players in exchange for supplies, or become a raider, taking by force.
• Emerge from the Shadows: Challenge other Forsaken in limited duels to sharpen your skills, preparing for invasions against the Architects.

When the world has abandoned you, survival is your only mission.

Step into Burundi 419

A once-thriving colony, Burundi 419 is clawing its way back from a catastrophic extinction event. Haunted by lost technologies and steered by mysterious supernatural forces, it stands on the brink of either rebirth or annihilation. Whether you enter as an Architect or one of the Forsaken, your actions will define the destiny of this fractured realm.

Intense Mech Combat

• Skill-Driven Battles: Triumph through tactical thinking and precise execution.
• Energy Management: A balanced approach to offense and defense keeps you dominant on the field.
• Chain Devastating Combos: Overwhelm enemies with fluid attack sequences that exploit their weaknesses.
• Master the Flow: Seamlessly switch between defensive maneuvers and full-on assaults to rule the battlefield.

Mech Customization

Your mech mirrors your identity—tailor its systems and aesthetics to your playstyle.

• Weapon Systems: From pinpoint energy rifles to explosive missile launchers, each has unique attributes.
• Armor & Parts: Boost resilience, speed, and agility through strategic upgrades.
• Aesthetic Design: Make your mech stand out with custom decals, color schemes, and effects.

Asynchronous Multiplayer & Diverse Roles

A living, breathing world shapes itself around every player’s actions—even when you’re offline.

• Persistent World: The environment responds to the combined influence of all players.
• Faction Alignment: Seven distinct factions—each with its own ideology, perks, and narrative threads.
  1. The Mega Corporations: Profit-driven titans of industry.
  2. The Burundi Government: Focused on order and stability.
  3. The Iconoclasts: Rebels aiming to topple oppressive regimes.
  4. The Institute: Explorers of forbidden sciences and hidden knowledge.
  5. The Monarchs: Upholders of aristocratic power and legacies.
  6. The Military: Strict enforcers, initially neutral but ever-watchful.
  7. The Treasury: Guardians of wealth and economic equilibrium, initially neutral.
• Neutral Path: Break free from faction ties entirely, forging your own maverick destiny.
• Special Roles: Ascend the ranks within your chosen faction, influencing economics, politics, and the tides of war.
• Player Interactions: Leave messages, offer aid, or sabotage rivals, shaping their experiences and the wider game world.

World Tendency System

Your moral decisions send ripples through Burundi 419’s delicate balance.

• Karma Points: Acquire positive or negative karma based on your cooperative or destructive behaviors.
• Dynamic States:
  • Pure White: A realm of abundance and optimism, where resources flourish and NPCs lend a helping hand.
  • Neutral: A precarious midpoint, teetering between creation and destruction.
  • Pure Black: A hostile dystopia marked by scarcity, aggression, and weakened abilities.
• End-World Events: Should darkness prevail, factions can vote to initiate cataclysmic resets, paving the way for new struggles and opportunities.
