- Tainted Fate leaving Early Access this Thursday, getting a permanent discount - 21 October 2020
Our goal We had one goal with Tainted Fate and that was to get it into as many VR hands as possible. In addition to that hopefully break even financially in the process. Practically non-existent sales and mixed reviews at the start of Early Access plummeted Tainted Fate into the ground. It just wasn't a good enough game at the start. We tried to resurrect it by updating and improving the game. All them updates We did the Arena Mode Update which brought in a new mode and online leaderboards. We added more puzzles and collectibles in the Puzzles Galore update. For Halloween 2019 we added more blood, better dismemberment, a new boss fight, new environments, shaders and levels. After that we overhauled the audio, added a new enemy and achievements. The final update was the Gummy Bear Mega update which temporarily changed all the enemies into gummy bears as an April Fools joke. In addition t…

Hello everyone. We've been discussing this for a long time and have finally decided on a radical change to Tainted Fate. We were very saddened by reviews and comments deeming our game too violent and pointless. We really tried to focus on the story of the game, for the player to at all times have a clear goal and really feel like the Demon Decarabia. Alas, many people thought it was all meaningless and focused only on the gore and dismemberment. Which means we have failed in our mission to make the game fun and meaningful. For instance this video review and its comments: "Completely meaningless!" - David Klaffke "Honestly, I do not know why you have to test something for almost half an hour. Would have fa…

We got it all.

That's two more hands you can tear off compared to a regular type dude. He'll show up in sacrificial pit fights in hell levels and has his own personal dismemberment gate in level 17.

(Obviously our favorite day of the year.) In the two months since the last update we focused on improving the graphics and overall look of the game, we've added new gameplay features, dismemberment gates, new ways to tear apart enemies (sharp objects, yay!), blood stains, we've started the final boss fight overhaul, new levels and bug fixes and other things we forgot to mention. Fun stuff! Don't like reading? Here's a short video showing off some of the stuff in this update: CLICK ME Double Texture Size https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32750849%2F97ee6bb2b7694f0eb4e0479ea5cdc92f47750345.jpg We have enabled the highest setting for textures that were lowered i…

The Puzzles Galore update reworks many of the levels in the game, adding new, more interesting puzzles to the mix. This update resulted from many players quitting the game in the first third of the game because the gameplay was too repetitive. We're trying to add more varied stuff for the player to do in an effort to keep you playing beyond the first third of the game. First minion functionality https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32750849%2F25c1382bdb7c66aa5eab48a635ee502d38d968e1.jpg Many players found the first minion to be basically useless since he was a weak boi and had no use outside of fights. We've added pressure plates on which our boi must stand to open gates. This feature later gets more co…

We've added loads of stuff based on your feedback and are working on a lot more. Here are the biggest changes: Arena Mode https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32750849%2F574fa5fe4e69856044923ca979e35de0d9088f6d.jpg Played through the story and want a bigger challenge? Don't care about the story mode at all and just want to compete with people from around the world in who will more creatively dismember enemies before the timer runs out? Then this is the mode for you. But wait, there's a twist! The sacrificial pits you throw enemies in for major points are tricky this time. Every map has a different pit. Sometimes they move, sometimes they're on the ceiling, sometimes they're i…
- We Hear You - 3 July 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32750849%2Fd6c9df07ce3c9755c12aa6b05fc25bcef6c3cc90.jpg In preparation for the first update of Tainted Fate we've gathered all the feedback from your reviews, emails and youtube videos. We've taken your criticisms to heart and have discussed what we need to change in the story mode to make it more engaging in the first hour so you don't get bored with the game. It seems that players who play longer than an hour are more satisfied with the game, since that is when you start getting better power ups and more puzzles / gameplay elements. From what we've gathered: Dismemberment is too "samey" and "gets old quickly": We are going to add more dismemberment options. We've seen many people swing their arms horizontally trying to tear apart enemies. That does not work because you need to grab two individual parts of the body and pu…
- Tainted Fate Out Now In Early Access! - 28 May 2018
The time has come. Tainted Fate is finally leaving the confines of our hard disks and going out into the wild. We really hope you like the game. We will continue working on Tainted Fate until it fulfills the vision of the game you want it to be and the game we want to make. We believe we're close to that goal, so check back often for new updates on our progress. The story will be polished up, the final boss fight redone and extended, the challenge mode is coming soon for those who want more than just the story. The AI is being reworked, the audio refined, voice acting is being re-recorded, visuals are being updated, we're adding collectibles, achievements and so on. Basically, there's a lot of work to be done, but we're looking forward to it. Hope you are too. Please send us your complaints, bug reports, hugs and kisses, angry letters and so on to [email protected] Cheers fro…
- Steam Page Live, New Trailer! - 22 May 2018
Hello Steam! We finally have the Steam page for Tainted Fate up and running. Our Early Access release is in 6 days and we're really hoping you'll like the game. We decided to go into Early Access to have more flexibility around making big changes in the game and general improvements based on what you, the players, say works or does not work in Tainted Fate. We also have a lot more content planned, as outlined in the "Why Early Access?" part on Tainted Fate's Steam page. In these final days before release we're trying our best to have the game work on everyone's headsets and hardware configurations, but if it crashes for you or doesn't run well, let us know. Making sure it works for everyone is our primary goal, then comes the changes and additional content. The new trailer is out too! The previous trailer was just a demonstration of the dismembering system (which we greatly improved sin…
