Play like before, fear like never before
Type your fate. Arm yourself with your keyboard and your wits, and try to escape from the abandoned house where you are. Unfortunately, you won't be alone...
Yes, but what the hell is this?
Type Your Fate is an 'old school' style text-based interactive fiction game in which you will have to do everything using a command console, from moving to interacting with the things around you (just like the mythic 1980s Infocom's Zork games but with illustrations and sound).
Do you like escape rooms?
What about an entirely, lonely, and abandoned house with a maniac assassin inside? You will have to find the numbers of the exit door's code and escape before assassin finds you, But be silence and be quick because he is chasing you all the time even when you stand in the same place without doing anything.
Your keyboard will be your best ally
You will need to give commands to the game console so you can move among rooms, check interactive objects, and interact with key items or events. You must be quick and silent, but you must decide wisely too. You must priorize your actions so you can escape!
Main Features
- Totally immersive experience: Experience a terrifying atmosphere that will make you feel as if you were in that abandoned house yourself.
- Mystery: Investigate and explore an abandoned house with up to 17 different rooms to unravel its hidden mysteries.
- The different faces of evil: Up to four different murderers will try to end your life. Don't allow it.
- Greater interaction: Up to 68 different interactive objects distributed throughout all the rooms.
- Endless Challenges: Randomly generated trivia and math challenges.
- Replayability: Each game is different. The main entrance door code will never be the same, the hint devices will never be in the same place, even the killer can change.
- True retro experience and challenging difficulty: Just like in the games of the 80s you will not have at your disposal any comfort that there is now. You will not have complex tutorials, you will not be able to save the game, you will not be able to use the mouse or the gamepad, and even if you want to adjust the sound volume or the difficulty of the game you will have to do it from the command line as it was done back then. Did I mention That in those days after a Game Over you had to start the game from the beginning?
- Customization: The multimedia resources are available for your own modifications. Change the assassin voice, their faces, the sound effects, the background music, even change the rooms and their animations.
Author's Notes (transparency and honesty)
I am fully aware that not everyone is going to like this proposal or the experience that Type Your Fate can offer you. That's why, as a player rather than a developer, I highly recommend you try the demo before purchasing the game. If after trying the demo you like the experience then go ahead, and if not, then don't buy this game.
Special dedication
I would like to reserve this small section to dedicate a few words to Troki. For me, Troki was much more than a dog, he was a faithful companion, my best friend and another member of my family. Without his love and company, projects like this would never have been possible. If there is a heaven for dogs I hope Troki is in it. Thanks for all these years. For Troki.
