Play it if you…
Good fit- Visual novel players who want choices to affect other characters’ survival
- Tabletop role-playing fans who want Warrior, Rogue, or Mage approaches in a narrative game

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long-form RPG campaign may find the several-hour story too limited in scope.
- Players who want consistently successful choices may hit a wall when unsuccessful decisions and deaths are part of the story.
- Players looking for action-focused gameplay may not find a combat-centered structure.
Our take on Roll of Fate
The bounce point comes when the game allows choices that can kill participants and does not guarantee that everyone can be saved. Players looking for a protected route to a uniformly positive outcome may stop at this consequence system.
What is Roll of Fate?
Roll of Fate combines illustrated storytelling with role-playing and quest mechanics.
Alex, a young fan of tabletop games, travels to an isolated town after accepting a cryptic invitation to an unfamiliar program. His approach is shaped by one of three archetypes: Warrior, Rogue, or Mage. Decisions influence the other contestants and determine their chances of making it through the night. The narrative features missions, luck-based dice checks that can guide choices, and fragments of each participant’s history, though some resist revealing anything about themselves. Players may intentionally choose poor options. Presented like a vivid graphic novel, the adventure offers several hours of story.
