Evaluation

Serin Fate launched at version 1.0 on August 25, 2021, after a lengthy Early Access period during which the developer (a solo developer named Vethergen) shipped several major content updates — including a large summer update in June 2020, update 0.4 in November 2020, and update 0.5 in March 2021. The 1.0 release post celebrated the game's completion after five years of development and made no mention of planned post-launch DLC, expansions, or further content phases. The store description, written in the developer's own voice, frames Serin Fate as a finished personal project and focuses on helping potential buyers decide if the existing game is right for them — with no mention of upcoming content. There are no DLC listings, no post-launch news posts, and no developer communications after the August 25, 2021 launch announcement. All four major content milestones recorded in the news history were part of the Early Access development cycle leading up to 1.0. The game appears to have shipped as a complete, standalone product with no further content planned.

About this game

Developer note:

I want to be fully transparent about Serin Fate before you decide to play. This is a deeply ambitious game that I spent over five years pouring effort and love into. It does a lot of unusual things—and because of that, and my inexperience at the time, it can be rough around the edges.

About 70% of players genuinely love it and are happy to look past its design quirks and the occasional bug. However, if you’re looking for a highly polished, smooth experience from the very start, I recommend passing this one.

That said, if the concept still interests you, I strongly recommend watching a few gameplay videos before making your decision. Serin Fate isn’t for everyone—but for players who enjoy experimental systems and don’t mind rough edges, there’s a lot here to love.

A hand-crafted fantasy RPG that delves deep into the churning depths of Magic. Explore a retro-inspired world bustling with rich story, unique mechanics, and fearsome Monsters!

Encourages an adventurous spirit and offers greater difficulty to the brave who seek it.

Evil is afoot...

Wielding your new Magic, bound into mysterious Monster-infested lands to uncover ancient relics and restore the Fate Stone. Along the way, explore the depths of every nook to find creatures, garner ingredients, train in Witchery, and craft new equipment.

Moments before its destruction, by the hands of evil, the Fate Stone imbued you with Magic. Now it’s time to learn some Witchery, armor up, and aid Princess Starwen in finding the lost Shards of Fate.

It’s dangerous to go alone… Take your battle-worthy familiar, some unique friends, and wits for adventure! Or spend your days around town running errands for the Witches Guild, fishing, tending your familiars, and shaping up a potion garden.

Serin Fate is riddled with secrets, hidden depths, and deeper complexities in combat, exploration, items, and stats.
A Sun Amulet that slows time during the day, or a ring that bites Monsters who attack you? Yup.
Entertaining those fleeting "I wonder..." thoughts will aid your quest!
