About This Game

Before there was anything, there was a garden. After everything ends, she is still there.

Never once absent. Never once remembered.

This is her duty, her fate, her eternal solo dance.

And she is still waiting for an ending that will never come.

Here, a myriad dimensions come to an end. Beneath the god's feet, countless universes have been born and gone dark, and not one has ever touched this garden.

And every time the god wakes, it is as though for the very first time.

Refrain: Verse of Fate is a narrative-driven 2D exploration game about a god of creation and destruction, and her solitary journey through an endless cycle.

Walk, listen, and read between three gardens in higher-dimensional space. Life awakens in one garden, is born in another, and turns to ash in the last. You follow her through it all. Once, and again, and again.

But each cycle is not quite the same.

Corners once overlooked begin to reveal their meaning; endings once reached become unfamiliar prologues in a new cycle. Verse fragments scattered throughout the gardens carry voices forgotten by time. Gather them, and piece by piece, you will uncover a truth far deeper than it first appears.

・A story told across four cycles

Each cycle opens a new layer of the story. Scenes that seem beautiful and sad the first time will mean something else entirely once you know the truth.

・Only the two of them

Universes outnumber the dust, yet no one else lives in this garden. One keeps waking. The other has never slept.

・No combat, no death

Wander cold, ethereal gardens in higher-dimensional space and take in everything at your own pace.

・Fragments of verse

Scattered through the gardens, fragments of verse hold voices from beyond the main story. Collect them, and the characters, the world, and the secret behind the cycles come into focus.

・Made by one person

Environments, art, writing, and pacing were all shaped by one person around a single idea, so the whole game speaks in one voice.

There is no world here for you to save, only a reunion that never ends.
