About the Game





To be at her side forever, to support and make her laugh - that had been the promise he gave her.

Now, years later, the two are studying swordsmanship and magic at the same academy: Albel, the aspiring newcomer, and Aiel, the beautiful and highly skilled swordswoman.

However, their promised future seems in danger after he loses in a duel against Karl, one of the academy’s strongest members.

A debt of 100.000 gold to be paid in 25 days, that is the deal for his defeat. Meanwhile, for every day it takes him to collect the debt, Aiel will receive a special training lesson from Karl…

Can he repay the debt before it’s too late? Or will his future hold nothing but broken promises?









“Fault” is a classic RPG with turn-based combat and a wide roster of NPCs to interact with. You can expect an engaging, dialogue-driven story with multiple endings.

You play as Albel, an aspiring newcomer at the academy of magic and swordsmanship.
Gameplay consists of going to the dungeon, fighting monsters and collecting loot before returning to the academy at night. You will be returned from the dungeon if you run out of stamina or get defeated.

Your goal is to collect enough gold to repay Albel’s debt to Karl. The various endings depend on how long it takes you to repay 100.000 gold.



  • Team up with Yuni or play solo as you fight your way through the dungeon.
  • Dual battle system: Simplified turn-based combat for normal enemies and a classic battle interface for bosses.
  • Manage your debt: Save up on gold or use it to buy better equipment.
  • Dynamic vendor inventory: The selection of offered items can change from day to day. It will be up to you to keep on saving gold or to spend it on a powerful, rare item.
  • Multiple endings and 99 save slots to try out different strategies!
