About Before Fate

Before Fate is a retro sci-fi survival RPG built around exploration, crafting, combat, and dungeon-driven progression. Researcher Ian travels through unstable rifts in time and space, venturing into deserts, forests, industrial ruins, and anomaly zones to gather resources, craft gear, restore the base, and survive a world overrun by Astrosects and rogue machines. As the investigation unfolds, the links between the Chrono Gem, the swarm disaster, and the Aude Research Institute begin to surface.

Game Features:

  • Explore Across Time and Space
Travel through diverse regions, from barren deserts and mysterious forests to industrial ruins and anomaly zones. Each area brings its own resources, threats, mechanisms, and hidden clues.
  • Deep Narrative
Follow the trail of the Chrono Gem and investigate the truth behind the swarm disaster. As Ian’s journey continues, the Aude Research Institute, rogue machines, and time-space anomalies become part of a larger mystery.
  • Rich Arsenal
Use over a hundred types of weapons and a wide range of unique items to shape your combat style. Craft, upgrade, and adapt your loadout for different enemies and dangerous environments.
  • Puzzle Challenges
Interact with mechanisms, environments, and dungeon structures to open new paths. Observation and preparation are often just as important as combat.
  • Hand-Drawn Sci-Fi Vision
Hand-drawn environments, retro comic textures, and old-future sci-fi atmosphere define the visual identity of Before Fate.

Artistic Style:

  • Retro Meets Modern:
Built on the spirit of 1970s and 1980s science fiction, Before Fate combines hand-drawn environments with a comic-inspired visual style to shape a sci-fi world with an old-future atmosphere.
  • Hand-Drawn World:
From barren deserts and mysterious forests to industrial facilities and anomaly zones, every environment and character is presented through hand-drawn visuals, forming a world that gradually unfolds through temporal dislocation.

Story Overview:

"Time and space do not meet. They collide. What we call 'possibility' is no more than an ordained echo within the Rift."In an age where robots and humans coexist, the arrival of a meteorite changes the course of the world. Researcher Ian Stewart follows the clues left behind by his mentor, Abel Morrison, and gradually uncovers the links between the Chrono Gem, the swarm disaster, and the Aude Research Institute.The Chrono Rift opens, and an adventure of exploration and survival begins.Enter the final timeline.

Ok, I've over 11 hours in now and think I've got enough playtime to give this a review, although I don't think I'm anywhere near the end. Great game! Serious indie effort has gone into this. (I picked up the Mr Pumpkin bundle as it looked like a bargain) Currently people (myself included) are experiencing some performance issues, but the dev is aware and has been pumping out patches since launch. Pros +Loads of weapons and armour +Loads of things to craft +A base you can teleport to from just about anywhere +Unlock recipes and workstations gradually to not overwhelm you +Intriguing story across space and time involving an alien insect invasion +Mini puzzles and side-quests +Diverse locations and environments to explore across a large map +Cool indie hand-drawn art-style +Some monster in-fighting which is always a joy to see. +Massive storage chest which you can craft directly from. Take note Starfield! +Dark Souls style death mechanic, but way more forgiving. +Use your local scanner to find things you can take or interact with. It also points you in the direction of your next objective. Cons -As mentioned, annoying performance issue, but still playable -Game is Chinese, so t…

Lol, this background music is so boring it almost put me to sleep. Hope they change it. It’s a sci-fi puzzle game, pretty fun overall tbh

The game is amazing! I saw the demo on other channels and really wanted to play it myself. At first, I had trouble launching it — it just didn’t work for me. But yesterday I tried again, and it seems like it’s been fixed. I’m definitely going to play it through to the very end. Highly recommended!
