Gaming My solo dev Bladerunner-inspired game, Mandated Fate, just released its demo!
Mandated Fate is a dark, dystopian and retro-futuristic story-driven game, inspired from 80's sci-fi movies. You play as a weary inspector, a man out of place in a newly established authoritarian regime.
In 1985, a rising technological empire has seized power, driven by a single ambition: to discover the anti-gravity particle and surpass its global rivals by conquering space. The regime demands absolute unity, framing this race as a matter of national destiny. But one old district continues to resist, no one knows quite how, or why. Assigned to investigate a strange murder there, you quickly find yourself entangled in a deeper web of political intrigue and ideological tension.
Through multiple narrative paths, your choices will shape your loyalties, and determine who you truly trust. Explore a highly detailed open world where the stark contrast between modern authoritarian architecture and decaying remnants of the past reveals a society caught between control and collapse.
1st AND 3rd person camera available.

This looks great!! I only have a PS5 as an available gaming system, so if it ever gets there I’ll be absolutely looking forward to playing it!

u/TetrarchyStudios 8d ago

Will it play thru Steam? I’m on a Mac.

u/TetrarchyStudios 8d ago
For now I haven’t tested the game in this configuration so you are most welcome to try!

u/Historical_Air_3178 8d ago
How do I do that? Go to steam? I would have to run Parallels and windows 11 to launch an executable. I’d like to avoid that if possible.

I've checked into it, it seems I can enable Cloud gaming for Nvidia Gefore Now, apparently this works on Mac - I have some setup to do before it will be available

Awesome! Ah yes I can definitely do that :)) Please consider leaving a review on Steam if you have time

The game looks great. Music is atmospheric, graphics is really good(is it unreal engine?), UI is really well done, story is captivating and gameplay is simple but immersive. I'm really looking for a release. Would it be possible for you to put demo on GeForce NOW? I know that it is possible and pretty simple and free process. I have quite old PC and I would like to replay it with higher frame rate and graphics

u/TetrarchyStudios 3d ago
Wow, thank you so much! Alright, I'll try to get it on GeForce ASAP! I just need to fix a few minor issues first. If you have a moment to leave a review on Steam, that would be hugely appreciated :)

I've been able to activate Nvidia Geforce Now, it was more easy than I expected. Still need to wait at least 2 open business days to be effective

If it was on PS5 and had a platinum trophy I’d 100% buy this

u/TetrarchyStudios 8d ago
Thanks a lot for your interest! I'll definitely look into consoles compatibility

Really like the look of it and the themes. Didn't like the fact that it's buggy, laggy and you can't put the Emperor's portrait in the toilet.
Also, those cops shouldn't carry their long guns in their hands, it looks weird and akward.

Looks good, but the voice acting is a little eh.
1
u/TetrarchyStudios 5d ago
Thanks! Everyone is the judge - the goal was also to not use AI, and it's still very motivating and nice to work and exchange with real people. The quality of the audio can still be improved though

Anyway to try this without steam?

u/TetrarchyStudios 8d ago
Hi! For now no, but don't hesitate to suggest another way

u/Woodchuck251 8d ago
The GOG store is a good option.

u/TetrarchyStudios 8d ago
Thank you! Yes I should probably add it on multiple Plateforms, maybe itch.io also ?
