Evaluation

fault - milestone one is a standalone entry in the fault series of cinematic novels, released on Steam on December 15, 2014. It has received several notable updates over the years: a revised translation in July 2016, a major visual overhaul with 4K sprites in March 2018, a Nintendo Switch release in October 2019, and a PS4 release in May 2020. The only DLC is an art book released on February 3, 2016, which has been available for years. The developer, ALICE IN DISSONANCE, returned from a multi-year hiatus in August 2022 to announce the launch of fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE, the first chapter of SILENCE THE PEDANT — a related but separate title in the fault universe. That August 2022 post also delivered a substantial patch (v1.02) for LIGHTKRAVTE and noted that development focus has moved to the SILENCE THE PEDANT series. milestone one itself is a self-contained episode. The series structure means ongoing storytelling continues in separate titles (milestone two, SILENCE THE PEDANT), not through additional content added to this specific game. No unreleased DLC is listed for milestone one, no roadmap has been published for additional content in this title, and the developer has not announced any future updates specific to milestone one. The most recent meaningful update to this game was the August 2022 patch (tied to the LIGHTKRAVTE launch announcement), and no further communication about milestone one specifically has followed. The game is best understood as a complete, self-contained episode that has reached its final state.

About this game

This version on Steam is the Director's Cut version that has additional content and features from the original Japanese release, all thanks to our Kickstarter backers. You can switch to Japanese by pressing the J key on your keyboard, or back to English with the E key.

fault is a series of Science Fantasy Cinematic Novels using a unique 3D Camera system for a visually immersive reading experience, which follows the story of a princess named Selphine and her Royal Guardian Ritona. When a sudden assault devastates their homeland of Rughzenhaide, the two are forced to escape… but somehow end up teleported into an unknown forest full of vegetation they don’t recognize. The atmosphere is thick and heavy. There is no sign of life, which is very unusual for such a lush forest. Something is wrong with the land… But they are too startled to notice what.

Who were the attackers and what was their goal?
Where did Selphine and Ritona end up?
Will the two make it home safely?
And more importantly, what has happened to their homeland?

Follow Selphine, the bubbly, happy-go-lucky Princess and her sharp-witted but slightly misanthropic Royal Guardian Ritona, on their journey of a lifetime back to their homeland of Rughzenhaide.

Contrary to popular belief, the word "milestone" refers to the episode number and is not a part of the main title... but it's impossible to search just for "fault" so feel free to call it "fault milestone". The more you know!
