Tainted Fate

Tainted Fate is a VR game in which you play as Decarabia, a demon whose body has been taken by his superiors. With almost nothing left to lose, you use your hands to regain your powers and take revenge on those who wronged you. Decarabia yells inappropriate one-liners at enemies, while the story and characters have more depth than the protagonist’s irreverent manner suggests.

Demonic abilities

You can grab enemies and tear off their limbs, throw explosive objects into crowds, and teleport into enemies for an instant kill. Summon minions to draw enemy attention or critters that explode on contact. You can also slow time for more precise dismemberment and throws, and combine abilities into attacks that send blood and body parts flying.

Boss fights

Bosses can be as large as buildings and can be defeated in multiple ways. After a fight, you gain their abilities. The game also features graphic ways to finish them, including chopping off their heads and entering their bodies.

Hands and feedback

Tainted Fate has no HUD. Your selected ability appears through your hands, while their colors fade as you take damage. Haptic feedback, visual cues and audio cues help convey what is happening.

Movement and graphics

You can choose teleportation or free walking for smooth locomotion, as well as a front-facing mode for playing without turning around in the real world. Tutorials and in-game images adapt to the headset and locomotion system you use. Graphics options let you adjust effects such as SSAO, dynamic shadows and bloom.
