The Game of Fourtune
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Clyde Raveron & Devon Rhodes find themselves trapped in a sadistic game of life and death, where they and fourteen other people must fight, scheme, and outsmart one another to survive a god's deadly game. Can they survive the ordeal? Or will they find themselves lost in the oblivion of this vile game?
Clyde Raveron and his coworker Devon Rhodes find themselves in a mysterious place with 14 other strangers, where they are forced to compete in a series of sadistic games of life and death. Each game is presented by a bubbly goddess with a penchant for chaos, and the players will need to survive each round if they hope to be granted one wish.
Nothing is promised during the Game of Fourtune. Depending on the route, Clyde and Devon could end up on opposing teams, forced to try to kill each other. Add a cast of 14 other characters and players will discover that there are all sorts of ways to fight and scheme in order to survive this deadly game.
The Game Features:
- Character Driven Story:
Play as Clyde and Devon as they figure out how to make it out of the Game of Fourtune alive. With 14 other players in this game, each with their own agenda, secrets, and goals, you’ll have to remain alert, learning more about each of them along the way.
- 16 Unique Routes:
Throughout the game, you will go on 16 unique routes for each player you will meet. These routes will be split between the perspective of Clyde and Devon and will feature different games and interactions. Each route will reveal more about a character’s desires, their past, and why they’re fighting for their life in The Game of Fourtune.
- Puzzles and Death Games Galore:
Players will find a variety of puzzles and death games to explore during each route. Some are games of trust and chance, others will test your ability to read your opponent or your teammates, and others are just flat-out brawls. You can never be certain of what kind of games await you!
- An Elegant and Expanding Flowchart:
Keep track of your progress through The Game of Fourtune using the flowchart system. A simple and elegant way to branch out to different paths and discover what routes are yet to be discovered.
- Uncover The Greater Plot and Mystery:
Even among the death games, some characters are planning schemes and plots that go beyond The Game of Fourtune itself. Some for themselves, some for redemption, some for others in power. Unravel the mysteries, discover the participant's greater plans and how many of them are merely pawns as opposed to players. Maybe then, you'll be able to achieve the best ending possible.

Are you planning on making a sequel?
I love the game and i'm hoping for a follow-up hehe
Hello, and thank you for the interest! I am currently working on a follow up project. But it's still very much in the works! But hopefully I'll have something to show relatively soonish.
Take your time, I can only imagine how much time and work went into the game of fourtune.
So I wasn't expecting a new game anytime soon, But I can't wait to see what you have planned next
I made an itch.io account to tell you I adored this.
I had a hard time finding games of this niche that filled the void of the Zero Escape games - not to blast them, but they didn't quite have what I was looking for. I played the Zero Escape games for the ultimate ending, and while I came to Danganronpa for the mystery in the first game, I stayed and played the others for the school mode. Why? I'm a sentimental galah, not a sadist. The pain the characters go through doesn't mean anything if there's no character development or a way out, otherwise it's just a horror film.
The Game of Fourtune had 'heart', for lack of a better word. There's a drive to get over the line in every way possible, come hell or highwater, and what kept me going was to get that character development and that way out.
You bastard, I laughed at throwaway gags I shouldn't have done. I had to pause one game because the concept reminded me of a Monty Python sketch. I couldn't stop laughing and had to go watch it to get it out of my system. I even gasped at how intensely personal some of the games got. I loved the 'odd friendship' moments and the little character call-backs the most because I'm sappier than I want to admit. You're entirely right in that no one was entirely unsympathetic, and strangely, I needed that.
I almost want to ask ridiculous questions about the characters for fanfiction ideas...I don't write fanfiction.
Thank you from an Australian chick who's probably too old to call herself one.
I'm so sorry that I was late to see this. I've been pretty busy lately, but I wanted to tell you that your words mean a lot! I'm enthralled that you had such a great time with the game to the point that you had a laughing fit among other things. The game has been a long labor of love and the heart that it has, I'd like to think, came a bit from me just trying to get this dang thing done over time.
I also hope that you're enjoying all the post-game content that's been coming afterward. And feel free to ask ridiculous questions, I'm more than happy to answer things like that.
Streamed this right after it came out and had a great time!
I'm loving this game, so excited for the full version ^_^
Looks exciting, can't wait for the full release!
