Studio: Frima
April 28, 2016, PSVR, Steam
“Set in the mythical age of Vikings, FATED: The Silent Oath tells a tale of courage and sacrifice where an everyday father and husband must do the impossible to save his family from the destruction of the world at the hands of giants of old.”
For this VR walking simulator, we joined the team late in production and did a thorough round of story development and scriptwriting, using the environments and characters already established, streamlining the story to best highlight the game’s mechanics and focus player attention on their journey and connection to characters around them.
“it’s the interactions between player and NPC that really make Fated worth playing. A passing joke from Freja as she squeezes past you in a carriage had me grunt with laughter and shoot her a knowing look as if she really was my wife. Disagreeing with her father out of a sense of loyalty conjured a rare sense of conflicting emotions inside me most game NPCs don’t elicit. Without spoiling anything, delivering an answer in the game’s final few moments really did spark a genuine shock that I’ll long remember as a prime example of why VR is so powerful.”
