[MARYLAND/ April 4, 2023] – The Game of Fourtune is a high-stakes new visual novel on Steam that follows two friends navigating through 16 rounds of deadly games. Inspired by the thrilling manga series Alice in Borderland, The Game of Fourtune places players under an intense microscope as they do what they can to survive on the border between life and death.
The Game of Fourtune takes place in a mysterious world where an underground criminal organization called The Digits of Eden lurks. Throughout the game players will uncover what this organization wants, how the goddess Bell plays into their plan, and why 16 unfortunate souls must fight to the death to get one wish granted. Players are guided through these series of games where their choices will determine whether or not they make it to the end of the game. It will be up to players to decide who is trustworthy as the other contestants each have their own personal agendas.
Kenneth Norris of BlackLock Games had this to say about the game’s launch, “I’ve worked with a large amount of talented people putting this together and I honestly feel a little sad that it’s almost over. That being said, things aren’t completely finished yet. As I’ve already drafted up some special bonuses for the game that will come out later.”
Main Features

- 16 Unique Routes: Throughout the game, you will go on 16 unique routes for each character you 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: Each route has a variety of puzzles and death games to explore. 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!

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.
