Truly one of the more unique experiences I've had playing a video game. Fatum Betula has a very unique visual style with it's retro ps1 era graphics that compliments it's atmospheric style extremely well. It feels like you're playing one of those ARG video games that don't exist and the feeling it gives me scratches an itch that I don't think any other game has scratched yet for me. The game deals with extistentialism, death, abuse and nihilism and with each dialogue and ending gives you so much to think about, it's such an aesthetically pleasing think-piece of a video game. Aesthitically everything blends in so well, from the weird textures, the dialogue, hell even the font that's used feels so perfect for it. The gameplay is more or less a walking simulator where you interact with npcs, find objects and solve puzzles, which are quite obtuse to get different endings. The puzzles really had me confused and walking around aimlessly but figuring it out myself in the end felt quite rewarding. Even the obtuse and nonsensical requirements for the endings played pretty well into how the game is meant to feel. The soundtrack is also quite wonderful. Every single aspect of this game fits into each other like pieces to make a unique and sensory stimulating game. If you're into things like LSD: Dream Emulator or even just find the visual aesthetic of the game pleasing, I assure you a couple of hours on Fatum Betula will make you love this game

Fatum Betula, a game you've played before A lot of games try to do retro, not just for the sake of being retro, but to adhere to a certain aesthetic. This is where Fatum Betula shines. It doesn't just look like an old game. It feels like one you've played before. It feels like a game you played as a kid but never quite got around to finishing or fully exploring. Something you vaguely remember but never got to fully understand. It fills you with nostalgia and melancholy without you ever having touched it before. The visual style plays a huge part in this. There's something about the primitive 3D environments that reminds me especially of games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Not necessarily because Fatum Betula is similar to it as a game, but because it captures that same feeling of exploring a strange world from that era. But that melancholy doesn't just come from the retro style. Fatum Betula presents a dying world that slowly tells its own story as both it and its inhabitants fade into nothingness. Exploring it feels like walking through the remains of something that is slowly disappearing around you, with its inhabitants being just as much a part of that dying world as the environments themselves. And that's where I think Fatum Betula does retro perfectly. It doesn't simply imitate what an old game looked like. It manages to recreate what remembering one feels like.

This game made me reflect about my life so many times its insane, I have like 15 hours on the Switch from all the times I've just stayed listening to the music or replayed to get a different interpretation, favorite game of all times, made me go out there and be real.

One day you will find a hole in your heart I suppose you haven't ever felt like you are failing to accept entropy. No, you haven't and none of us ever will: this river is taking us all down, one way only. Lethe shouldn't have an echo, that's the whole point of forgetting. The river is endless but we are not. What if this wasn't the case though? What if your existence could become impossible? Would you then push the envelope off the fringes of the sweet hereafter or would you poison the future when boredom starts to sting a little too much? Atlas was forced to carry the sky for eternity. Just imagine how bored he is right now. He wasn't given a choice though. Where even meaning can become meaningless You start the game with a system in balance desperate to be thrown off balance. How will you do it? And why? I noticed that Fatum Betula is tagged as horror but that is not true, except if the definition of horror is stretched so thin to encompass eeriness, an uneasy feeling or existential dread. Personally, I would describe Fatum Betula as an exploration game, relying heavily on its atmosphere and dream-like quality to narrate a story which is simultaneously simple and convoluted. This last part is perhaps the most brilliant thing that Fatum Betula has to offer, mostly because of its thematology. Of course, the PSX era aesthetics and an amazing soundtrack both allow the story to take root and give form to its fleshy bark and low-polygon, bony branches. The typical 3D pixelated look of similar indie games is employed by Fatum Betula as well, and it made me appreciate once again the term low-poly art . Bryce Bucher, the game's creator, brought the game to life by depicting incandescently its small world and the characters that it consists. Ok, a certain cat-looking raccoon is a peculiar inclusion but jokes aside, I found that everything was designed with a befitting sense for the scope of Fatum Betula's story. The music serves an amazing role into bringing this dream-like atmosphere to life. Like a mantle that rests upon the shoulders in perfect symmetry, it envelops Fatum Betula's story. A fitting soundtrack for the game's world: even when it appears to be soothing, it remains suspenseful and at times it turns sinisterly disturbing, mirroring the ambiguity of a dream and the dissonance of the nightmare. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3647827704 What if Atlas could embrace entropy and was allowed to send the skies crashing down to earth, burying all the Rivers once and for all? Would he do it? Perhaps he would. Perhaps he would choose to keep shouldering the burden. Out of love for the mortals. Out of spite for the mortals. A synecdoche was used, somewhere. Go out there and be real I wonder what the Birch's Fate will be! [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46070934/]Care to join me in prayer?
