About This Game

YOUR LIFE WAS TAKEN. YOUR FATE WAS CHANGED.

Princess Persephone was never supposed to survive childhood.

Claimed by Nexa, the Fate of Death, Persephone was brought back to life through the intervention of Vita, the Fate of Life.

But defying death has consequences.

Years later, tensions between the mortal kingdom and the divine powers governing existence threaten to erupt into open conflict. Nexa believes that Persephone's resurrection violated the natural order, while the royal family fears that the Fate of Death has ambitions extending far beyond her divine responsibilities.

Caught between mortal authority and divine power, Persephone must navigate a world where even the gods disagree over what is right, what is just, and who has the authority to decide.

Can fate be challenged? And what happens when the powers governing life and death become enemies?

Fate of Persephone is a story-driven, first-person fantasy RPG inspired by the classic grid-based dungeon crawlers of the 1990s. Explore a handcrafted world, wield powerful magic, uncover ancient secrets, and make decisions that shape your journey.

EXPLORE A WORLD OF MYSTERY

Journey through a handcrafted fantasy world filled with towns, forests, ancient ruins, and dangerous dungeons.

Explore using classic first-person, grid-based movement, discover hidden locations, and piece together the history of a world shaped by powerful divine forces.

An integrated automap helps you navigate your surroundings and travel between discovered locations.

MASTER THE ART OF MAGIC

In Fate of Persephone, magic takes center stage.

Engage in magical combat and develop your abilities as you face the dangers of the world. Rather than relying on conventional weapons, your survival depends on the magical powers at your disposal.

GROW THROUGH MORE THAN COMBAT

Not every challenge must be overcome through battle.

Earn experience by solving puzzles, studying ancient lore, exploring hidden areas, and discovering the secrets of the world.

Your curiosity, wisdom, and willingness to investigate are rewarded alongside your victories in combat.

YOUR DECISIONS MATTER

Your choices help shape your adventure.

Engage in branching conversations, influence future events, and make decisions whose consequences may not always be immediately apparent.

The path ahead is shaped not only by what you accomplish, but also by how you choose to accomplish it.

A CLASSIC RPG EXPERIENCE WITH MODERN CONVENIENCES

Inspired by the spirit of classic fantasy role-playing games, Fate of Persephone combines traditional exploration and puzzle-solving with character-driven storytelling and accessible gameplay features.

Magic-focused combat: Face enemies using magical abilities rather than conventional weapon-based combat.
