The Game
Fatum Betula is an atmospheric exploration game with light puzzle elements. A magical birch is the only thing dictating the future, and it is your job to find something appropriate to feed it with. There is a total of 10 unique endings and a plethora of secrets to uncover.The World
Welcome to a world without a past. Reality slowly becomes meaningless as you learn more about what each unique location has to offer.
The Characters
In your time spent exploring the world of Fatum Betula, you will encounter many (sometimes literally) strange faces. Each of these characters has as much personality as the areas they inhabit, and I'm sure many of them will want a word.The Style
Fatum Betula calls back to an era where vertices didn't sit still and textures failed to align. The game plays in a 320x240 resolution and replicates the flaws of older hardware.Éditions et prix Steam

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« As a player, Fatum Betula hosts fulfilling gameplay, rewarding exploration with an atmosphere of thick nostalgia and childhood fear. As a curator, it is a brief exploration into auteur theory, and that direction is never necessarily important, only context. »
« Fatum Betula is a game - and an experience - that feels old school yet completely new and unique in the same breath. The lack of guidance is something that will split the gaming community, but it must be agreed that the surreal visual design is fascinating, disturbing, and brilliantly designed. »
« Again, I appreciated the retro visual style, and for all the weirdness of the experience I found myself wanting to see what the next ending would bring. That it is so short to run through is a blessing, but once more I’m not sure I could recommend this to anyone who isn’t really into esoteric, indie experiences. »
« Fatum Betula is a strange game geared towards a very specific niche. I can’t say I’m in that niche, but if you are, it’s probably going to be right up your alley. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Fatum Betula, or fate birch, is about a tree of life or something- You’re set to fill the water that feeds the roots of said tree with different liquids, these determine the future of humanity blah blah blah.Before we get to that, the game itself is quite beautiful and artsy, set in a ps1 aesthetic (which is captured quite well), some nicely designed characters and a cryptic setting. Unlike the other games I’ve played recently, of which are quite wacky surreal, this is more normal in a way. The setting is surreal in a cryptic sense; the atmosphere is liminal and the fog is dense, sometimes it’s hard to see the entire map (each location is somewhat small anyway). Playing the game I was expected to encounter a jumpscare or something cryptic just because of the atmosphere, but it never *truly* does. I got spooked towards the end, one of the sequences is surreal yet simple, it’s all tangible and real conventions but there’s something unsettling about the moon phase, or the redness of the sea (yadda **** as simple as the game is I think the aesthetic and the art is what drives this home, it’s clean and pretty and simple and effective and i love how this game works. The endings are all somewhat philosophical, thinkers, no matter the outcome there’s always some twist or downside to your “choice”. The way the puzzles and choices are setup are interesting and unexpected, it’s all about thinking ahead and wondering what works with what. Cool game, I love writing that has good / ominous one liners, really interesting **** 8.7/10 »
« The pleasant aesthetic and a soundtrack that mixes between calm, scary and uncomfortable was enough for the experience to be good. I'm not a big fan of games that seek depth through shallow criticism or leftist propaganda, but this one wasn't bad. »
