Half Past Fate aims to stir up your emotions by having you watch couples grow together through a time-leaping adventure – one that will surely make your heart swell.
You’ll be overseeing the love story of 6 people as they deepen their bonds across the years. Love doesn’t happen overnight and you will have the privilege of a front seat to some truly heart-warming tales. Time jumps aren’t strictly by years, either, as you may find yourself leaping as little as 8 hours in the future to zip through periods to see your beau once again. You’ll have to navigate your work and daily life through these days, but you may just bump into your soulmate through these seemingly simple everyday happenstances.
You are sure to find a lot of relatable messages throughout the game as it crafts a dynamic cast with their own personalities and mannerisms. By the end of the journey, you’ll feel like these characters are your old friends who have recounted their love stories to you.
Bringing you close to these characters through life lessons and an extraordinary tale of love isn’t the only thing this game does well. I would be remiss to not mention the masterful pixel art and how the game works it into a dynamic 3D style. You will be in for a visual treat as the developers show off carefully-drawn character animations and well-thought out color palettes. The screenshots alone don’t do it justice, but you can get a taste for just how much detail is in it just from a picture.
Pairing the visual style with a powerful narrative, Half Past Fate is sure to leave an impression on you that will have you drawing parallels with your own love life.
Half Past Fate is available now on the Nintendo Switch and Steam.
