Fate of Kai

Very good and lovely game. I admired art, music and story. It's short but pretty with a fun puzzle element

Un bon petit casse-tête assez court mais très sympathique à faire. J'ai adoré les musiques d'ambiances et les dessins!

It is really a fun little Comic Adventure. You have to turn pages, collect toughts, sometimes go back and use a collected tought in the past to change the outcome etc. It is really fun and i liked the puzzles. Especially Chapter 5 was great! And yeah... i was having fun until chapter 6! This puzzle is sadly impossible for me to solve and after trying it various times i guess im going to give up for now... Spoiler for the puzzle and solution ahead: [spoiler]This chapter will play automatically. You have about 8 seconds until the page turns to the next page. You will need to perform various actions to progress. The solution is to get through this shift (I never got to the end, but I'm guessing it's 6 or 8 pageturns long?) without making any mistakes to avoid being reset to the beginning, and then be able to retrieve the sword. In this shift, you have to mine stones with a pickaxe on time (about 8 seconds per page turn). On each page you see 6 stones with different coloured minerals and you have to click on the right ones. If you get it wrong, you get the opportunity to find the solution (which is good) to this puzzle (and see where the sword is). The solution: You see a clock moving on the left - In the first half of the time, you have to mine certain colours and in the second half of the time, switch to the others. Every time you do it wrong, you have to wait 40 seconds until it's your turn again. My problem is that the colours are difficult for me to distinguish, so I constantly fail to do it right. Even though I theoretically know the solution[/spoiler] I changed the recommendation to yes, because in its core its an awesome game. I had to get my girlfriend to solve chapter 6. It would be nice, if the game had color blindnes adjustments.

TL:DR, Extremely short, and has a color blindness problem with a specific puzzle. It's alright, worth the $1.74 I paid for on sale, but it's obscurely short. A total of an hour, but I'd say it's more like half an hour since I got stuck on a specific puzzle that isn't hard, but completely unfair to me. [spoiler]The mining puzzle where you have to quickly pick specifically colored rocks, while on a short timer, is rough for someone who is colorblind. I had to screen share and have my friend direct me to which rocks were specific colors. Doesn't help that when you fail the puzzle, you have to sit through half a minute/ a full minute of waiting till you can try again depending if you "open" a book. I would have never completed this puzzle otherwise since there is no consistent, distinct difference in the rocks to differentiate them from one another other than color.[/spoiler] It's one very huge flaw for colorblindness, with no work around in game. Art is good, music not memorable but it does its job. Story is... there? I kind of got it but it felt so weirdly paced I wasn't sure what the point was. This game isn't worth $7 dollars, way too short, but if you are curious you can grab it on sale and try it out.

Fate of Kai - внезапная находка, крайне порадовавшая меня в уходящем году. Очень короткая, но насыщенная свежими идеями, она показывает, что вполне достаточно иметь всего одну ключевую механику, если она хорошо проработана. Первые 3 главы можно считать разминочными, а каждая следующая ощущается все лучше и интересней, предлагая уникальную особенность на каждом уровне, начиная с пятого. За свою атмосферу, рисовку, необычную геймплейную основу, музыку и чувство меры Fate of Kai получает от меня 9 баллов из 10, особенно учитывая крайне внезапную концовку, придающую всему пути иной смысл. После такого финала я сразу же прошел ее второй раз, внимательней вчитываясь в описания глав, послание которых в первом прохождении до конца не понять

Oui, c'est bien pensé, oui, c'est bien dessiné, mais, c'est vraiment trop court et zero rejouabilité. Cela ressemble plus à une "démo" d'un concept qu'à un "vrai" jeu. De mon ressenti, même en solde, il ne vaut pas le coût.

12 year old loves graphic novels and LOVED this game. I did a run through after him. It is short but the puzzles and story are fun. Unique!

Simple and short but nice. Pretty recommended for kids. Just play with the action words, put them in the order you need to go forward in the story. Juego de viñetas corto y simple, pero entretenido. Tan solo debes avanzar o retroceder en la historia, recogiendo las palabras clave y ordenándolas para poder seguir adelante. Recomendado sobretodo para los peques.

A very unique experience. That kind of stories that leave you thinking. I loved it. The mechanic is one of a kind, the art is guides you perfectly through the whole adventure and the sound is really inmersive. 10/10.

Nice game I really enjoyed it so much
