Another FMV game was listed on Steam yesterday. Rebooted Fate (逆袭重启) is a first-person romance game where players explore a branching narrative. The game appears to have six love interests, with a dual-favor system, and also features action scenes. The biggest surprise is that it releases Feb 26.
In an age of uncertainty, every choice can reshape the course of a life.
You play as Qi Nian, a recent college graduate whose dreams collide head-on with a financial crisis. Stepping into the real world full of hope, he soon finds himself trapped by unemployment, confusion, and loneliness. Just as he reaches his breaking point, a mysterious system called “Fortune Reversal” suddenly alters his destiny.
One night, after opening a strange life manual, Qi Nian becomes bound to an unknown system. From that moment on, choice panels and relationship meters begin to appear in the real world itself. This extraordinary ability allows him to re-examine his life and regain control over situations that once felt impossible to change.
Through encounters with his college roommate Zhao Tingting and other women he meets along the way — including model Linna, superstar Jia Yun Wu, mature and enigmatic Yuxin Yu, and flight attendant Yalin Feng — every interaction becomes a turning point.
The game promises over 400 minutes of video footage, which is just a bit under 7 hours. It has almost 200 choices and a dual favor system, affection and desire, which sounds a bit like Soul Touch. The game is listed on the Steam store page without the FMV tag, which made it harder to find.
Strangely, the game is due out on the 26th of February, less than 2 weeks from now. The game supports a billion different languages, including English, Korean, Japanese. Likely these are machine generated but many games these days are anyway.
