Gaze Into Fate

"Gaze Into Fate" is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam for no apparent reason. It's a garbage minimalist puzzle game with a bit of visual novel drivel stapled onto it. I guess they thought it would go viral amongst the art community or something. Spoiler: It did not. What do you do in the game? All you do here is swipe your finger around on your iPhone to connect the dots in the order they tell you to do. That's it. Boring. No wonder it failed. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

It's more a memory game than a "...meditative and story-driven puzzle game..." . Still, it's a nice change from action-fast paced- shooter games or other indie gems. You are portraying a shaman who left his tribe trying to get in contact with the gods..! Good Luck! [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAuvoEG3oW4] First 20min Gameplay here[/url]

Ok honestly I find this game interesting It's a 'memory puzzle' concept story driven game that allows you to seek your own paths to the destiny fate It's really cool, and I love the wall art (murals). Good work on these visuals, I really had a feeling where I'm an old tribe person in those stone age :) A suggestion, maybe can we skip/add speed to the voice? I have no patience on that HAHAH. 7.5/10 :D

"Gaze Into Fate" is a story-driven puzzle game where you play as Tiiyao, a shaman and tribal leader, who is searching the answers to decisions that we all have to make. This game has 50 challenging puzzles, fully voiced characters, hand drawn visuals and an exciting story with a serious background. It took me around 40 minutes to finish the game and help Tiiyao to find the right path. I would give it a 3/10 difficulty rating as it gets more difficult to the end of the game (you have to put more and more things into a pot, in a certain order). The art is amazing and it's also a good game to test your observation skills and improve your memory. The soundtracks and sound effects are very neat and fit perfectly in the environment. I really liked the concept and the story, but it gets quite repetitive and, at one point, some players may lose their interest. After finishing the game, you also unlock the "Story Mode" - a game mode in which you can watch the whole story, but without interfering in it. All things considered, I would recommend this free game to the players of all ages that like story-driven puzzle games or to the casual players that are trying new games/doing playthroughs.

3分（题材怪可惜的），免费的游戏，无意在库存里，就尝试了一下。 这个游戏模式，纯靠记忆，而且没有新元素，单一无聊，音画等等没一样还行的，可能适合早教锻炼记忆里? 但是这个设定吧，本来挺小众的，感觉会有意思，但实际讲半天真没个所以然，要命的是过一次就一句话，拖沓得让人难受。 虽然免费，但是浪费了这个题材选择，甚至不能算游戏。

好好好，这样做游戏是吧

The art style of this game is so fun and very well drawn, the story tho... not very interesting. My initial thought was jesus this is boring it cant just be this, but it was. This is not a puzzle game, this is a memory game. All you do is remember a sequence for both the fire and the constellation. Is the art style absolutely gorgeous? yes. Is the story captivating? personally no, its quite boring. I will be uninstalling as soon as i am done writing this. props to the illustrator/s tho :)
