Описание
Salome was a first century Judean princess mentioned in the Christian Bible by Matthew and by Mark. But it is Oscar Wilde's 19th century play Salome that really inspired Fatale. In the Bible, Salome is a child who dances for King Herod and asks the head of John the Baptist as a reward. In Wilde's version, Salome falls in love with the prophet. He rejects her and she has him executed. The play ends with her kissing the lips of his decapitated head.
Most of Fatale takes place in the aftermath of this event, when all has turned quiet and the moon brings comfort to troubled hearts.
Explore a living tableau filled with references to the legendary tale of Salome and enjoy the moonlit serenity of a fatal night in the orient. Fatale offers an experimental play experience that stimulates the imagination and encourages multiple interpretations and personal associations.
How to play Fatale:
- The Cistern: Think of Fatale as a role playing game. We will leave it to your imagination who you are playing. You find yourself in a prison. And the distant sound of music plays overhead.
- The Terrace: On the terrace your experience is disembodied.
- FLY: Clicking with the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON you can move forward.
- RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON: Lets you travel backwards. You will see things differently if you hold either of the mouse buttons down.
- FLOAT: Use the MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON you float freely forward.
- CONTROL: Hold down the SPACEBAR to bring up the aureola. This is your inventory of scenes you can revisit and interact with. Click the letters to return to a still scene. If a space is blank, clicking on it becomes a hint to where you should travel next.
- EXAMINE: The lights on the terrace invite you to hover over them to block them out. From scene to scene, you have various options for interaction. Your cursor keys pan the view, click & drag allows for camera rotation, and sometimes rolling over or clicking items in these scenes can lead to surprising results.
- EXPLORE: Above all, since this experience makes few demands, take your time. Notice the small details. Listen to the whispers and echoes. Therein, lies the joy. Allow yourself to fall in love with Salome, now you have all the time in the world.
- The Dance: An epilogue which appears on restart after each complete playthrough.
- ESC: If you need help, the ESC key leads you to a summary of context and controls.
Fatale is played through first person 3D navigation but its controls may appear somewhat unconventional to the seasoned gamer. ASWD + mouselook navigation can be enabled in the Options menu.

There is no game here. Controls are abysmal. Story is boring. Art is fine at best. Music is repetitive. Not recommended even if it's free, save your time 1/10
i love salami and john canon and harry d and all my friends in judea. awesome project here of talking salome and making it interactive theater and making that interactive theater like a museum exhibit and making that interactive theater museum exhibit of salome a video game. i love tale of tales movement systems, no received wisdom on WASD, just vibes. beautiful use of text on screen and ASMR. and so quick! i think maybe it's so funny to read old reviews of this, steam has changed so wildly. edith finch, which was just totally aping their house style, was critically and commercially successful! this will never have its day and it's not the path, but it makes me excited and giddy to think abt this game :) worth every freaking penny. sadly will never play their cathedral VR games ... don't like VR :(
As a not-game this is certainly a pleasant experience. Right, the controls are the most unhinged piece of design ever, but despite that, Fatale is beautiful in visuals and stellar in music.
Story-wise, well... I didn't know it was based on a book prior so I went in blind and I dug the vibe of it. Now I'm interested in reading Salome so I guess that is a good thing.
Controls are a bit clunky, but it's a interesting experience - buy it with discount
