DarkFates
What is "DarkFates"?
Dark Fates is a classic style psychological horror mystery text adventure game planned for release on Windows and potentially other Operating Systems later on.
Which languages will it be available in?
At the moment, we are exclusively working on the English version of the game.
However, a German version will also be made available as soon as possible.
When will the game be released?
Original plans foresaw a release in November of 2015, but because of technical
reasons, as well as problems in the developement of the engine, work progressed
slowly and we had to postpone the Steam Greenlight campaign. To give a conservative
estimate, we are targeting a release around Febuary of 2016, depending how well the campaign goes.
The Gameplay:
Dark Fates is a text based adventure game inspired by the pioneers of PC gaming from the 1970s and early 80s. As such, you will have to enter commands with your keyboard to perform actions and check various sources of information. A more detailed tutorial is provided at the beginning of the game. Keep in mind that not all required commands to progress the story are list so you will have to think critically and find the solution based on the context of the situation. You should also try out entering some random things that come to your mind, as there is a plethora of easter eggs hidden in the game.
The story:
Now for a short, spoiler free overview of the story. Dark Fates is split into two "books": The "Book of Falsehoods" and the "Book of Truths". The initial release will only contain the Book of Falsehoods. The Book of Truths will be released later (maybe as DLC), as to conceal the true ongoings behind the scenes of the Book of Falsehoods and leave room for speculation.
The Book of Falsehoods
Human Nature:
The story of a young man in modern day Detroit. After loosing his memories and waking up in a garbage compactor, he has to piece together his past while avoiding a group of assassins hired to kill him.
Beware of the Wolf:
Set in the early years of the 19th century, the life of eleven year old Melissa Barley is suddenly thrown into chaos as she discovers a gruesome scene in the light of the full moon. She must uncover the truth about the strange behaviour the people of her village exhibit, while constantly being haunted by strange visions.
Forbidden Secrets:
After the writer James Carlson moves to the small town of Goodland on Vancouver Island, Canada, to escape the memories of his late sister, he is initially greeted with hospitality by his new neighbours. But below the surface, a horrifying truth is waiting to send him spiralling towards the depths of madness.
The Book of Truths
The Book of Truths contains the true happenings behind the stories presented by the rather unreliable viewpoint characters of the Book of Falsehoods. For every chapter in the Book of Falsehoods, there is a corresponding chapter in the Book of Truths. Any more information would enter the territory of spoilers,
so this section will remain as is until shortly before the release of the Book of Truths.
