Fortune Fragments

Fortune Fragments is a visual novel roleplaying game with hex-tile rune-building puzzles, set in the modern-fantasy city of Clearcastle. You run a shop as a Foreteller, read customers’ souls and help decide what they do next. Your choices shape branching storylines and your clients’ fates.

Read the runes

Use customers’ soul stones and your magical fortune fragments to place runes on a board and reveal possible futures. You have a limited number of turns and redraws to meet each puzzle’s goals. As you use your powers, you unlock stronger runes and new fragments.

Each customer’s soul creates different obstacles. Some puzzles ask you to gather energy from aspects of the board; others involve revealing things hidden in darkness. Sides and aspects may not be visible at first, and you may need to try again to learn how the board responds to your actions.

Guide your customers

As the newly opened shop’s Foreteller, you take on the duty of resolving your customers’ troubles. You choose how to respond: console them or give them a rude awakening, encourage their dreams or make their fears come true. The people you meet include Agatha, your cheerful, gossip-loving landlady; Basil, an eccentric and well-meaning young man; and Leo, a distressed stranger whose trustworthiness is for you to judge.

Other clients include Crow, whose speech consists of caws; Matheus, a kind, rugged man with work troubles; and Catherine, a young woman in hard times trying to reach someone who cannot speak for themselves. You also meet Julian, a hopeless romantic, Amelia, a shy and kind woman pulled in different directions, and Carmen, a member of far-off nobility seeking to climb higher and asking you for favours.
