About this game
BE THE HORROR
Massacre those who wish to orchestrate your destiny. Dismember any living being. Spawn your minions to aid you in your quest for blood.DEMONIC ABILITIES
Grab enemies and tear their limbs off. Spawn your minions to take the heat off you or spawn critters that blow up on contact. Teleport into enemies for an instant kill. Throw explosive objects into crowds of enemies. Slow down time for extra precision while dismembering enemies or throwing objects. Mix and match abilities for wild combos resulting in a spectacle of blood and flying body parts.NO HUD
VR games should have a minimal HUD with as little text and as few numbers as possible sticking to your face. That's why Tainted Fate has no HUD at all. The ability you have selected is visible through your hands. The colors fade as you take more damage. Haptic feedback, visual and audio cues help immerse you into the world of Tainted Fate.
EPIC BOSS FIGHTS
Bosses the size of a building? Check. Multiple ways to defeat them? Check. Gain their abilities after the fight? Check. Chop off their heads, jump down their neck, make a stew out of their guts and exit through their poop hole? Check.
PLETHORA OF LOCOMOTION AND GRAPHICS OPTIONS
You are new to VR or get sick easily? Use teleportation. You're a VR veteran and want free walking for smooth locomotion? We got you covered. You don't want to turn around in the real world and want to play sitting in a sofa like our lazy developers? Use the front facing mode. Depending on whether you use a Rift, Vive or Windows MR headset, the game dynamically changes the tutorials and in-game images to correspond to your headset and chosen locomotion system.Have a beast of a PC and want all the SSAOs and dynamic shadows and blooms so strong your eyes melt from all the glow? Still got you covered. Want to play at a rock solid 90fps on your sensibly built rig or laptop? Turn them graphics down, son.
ENGAGING STORY
Tainted Fate does not take itself too seriously. It's a game in which you are a demon that yells inappropriate one liners at his enemies, but don't be deceived by the shallowness of the protagonist. The story and characters have depth. You are Decarabia. A demon with almost nothing to lose. Even your body has been taken away by the higher-ups. Left with nothing but your hands, you will use them to gain back your powers and get revenge on those who have wronged you on your path of carnage.
NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S INDIE GAME
We're an indie team. We can do things developers who have publishers can't. In Tainted Fate you will experience chopping off people's heads in guillotines, fountains of blood pouring out of dismembered limbs, swearing, offensive dry humor, inappropriate jokes...System Requirements

Tainted Fate leaving Early Access this Thursday, getting a permanent discount
Our goal We had one goal with Tainted Fate and that was to get it into as many VR hands as possible. In addition to that hopefully break even financially in the process. Practically non-existent sales and mixed reviews at the start of Early Access plummeted Tainted Fate into the ground. It just wasn't a good enough game at the start. We tried to resurrect it by updating and improving the game. All them updates We did the Arena Mode Update which brought in a new mode and online leaderboards. We added more puzzles and collectibles in the Puzzles Galore update. For Halloween 2019 we added more blood, better dismemberment, a new boss fight, new environments, shaders and levels. After that we overhauled the audio, added a new enemy and achievements. The final update was the Gummy Bear Mega update which temporarily changed all the enemies into gummy bears as an April Fools joke. In addition to all these updates, we have been fixing bugs and adjusting levels since 2019. We now believe Tainted Fate is ready to leave Early Access. The price has been lowered from $14.99 to $9.99 in hopes to get more people to buy the game. Plans vs reality Looking back at our plans based on your feedback at the start of Early Access, looks like we've accomplished almost everything we set out to do during Early Access. Well, the AI is still pretty stupid. Let's say that's intentional and demons in Tainted Fate's universe love to just run at you with complete disregard for their well-being. Release We're releasing Tainted Fate out of Early Access and into your virtual demon hands this Spooktober just a week before Halloween. Specifically Thursday, October 29th for $9.99. Enjoy! And as always: Be the horror.Read full article on Community Announcements (MLX)Patch NotesOfficial
Gummy Bear Mega Update
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/982eeac9ccf06edaefb267ed5deb4002506c6e26.jpg Check out the video of the latest changes made to Tainted Fate! Hello everyone. We've been discussing this for a long time and have finally decided on a radical change to Tainted Fate. We were very saddened by reviews and comments deeming our game too violent and pointless. We really tried to focus on the story of the game, for the player to at all times have a clear goal and really feel like the Demon Decarabia. Alas, many people thought it was all meaningless and focused only on the gore and dismemberment. Which means we have failed in our mission to make the game fun and meaningful. For instance this video review and its comments: "Completely meaningless!" - David Klaffke "Honestly, I do not know why you have to test something for almost half an hour. Would have failed with me after 2 minutes. Because that's what it is: diarrhea" - e1337e weazel "The game is sick, because the developer was really bored." - Captain A (comments auto-translated from German) Or this extremely thorough review: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/4a3b656a10c0daf142bafd42ddcbccfe4f2e4e0b.png Taking this feedback into account, we have decided to adapt the game to be less offensive and gory and, above all, to be extremely fun. We have made some radical changes to the visuals and core gameplay: Changed all enemies into gummy bears https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/c438fd47b827c906a82d5f9d5ad5fbc8a7ac89a0.jpg Tearing apart demons from hell and caricatures of prisoners was deemed too taboo. For that reason we have decided to replace every single enemy in the game with colorful gummy bears. Replaced blood with paint https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/db4c8fca2cf86cd93b57bc4fd12f7a715ebdd3aa.jpg We have also decided to remove all blood from the game and ...Read full article on Community Announcements (MLX)AnnouncementsOfficial
Audio Overhaul, New Enemy, Achievements
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/6ff0dcf84ec76a35c2aaf28206325d6b9b995246.jpg New music, new sound effects, remixed sounds that sucked, new voice overs, new enemy type, bug fixes, gameplay improvements, achievements. We got it all. New Enemy https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/3bc9b50f246d61db039f422c003c32af2d21a37a.jpg This dude has four hands! That's two more hands you can tear off compared to a regular type dude. He'll show up in sacrificial pit fights in hell levels and has his own personal dismemberment gate in level 17. Idle Mode https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/b5b8b2d921bc64c01665b6f0bddc636286124f0e.jpg Enemies don't just stand around anymore, they do stuff! We've recorded more dialogues between enemies, and made more custom animations for enemies on levels. Now they push crates, pick stuff up and sit on stuff. Some of them are doing really shady stuff :O New Music And Sound Effects We've added music queues that start playing in certain parts of levels or when certain events happen. Sound effects for movable objects such as barrels, chairs, glass bottles, torn body parts and organs have new and more unique sound effects. New Voice Over Characters that sounded, let's say, um, not very believable have been re-recorded. Demons have more grunt sounds, hurt sounds, screams, quips they yell at the player and so on. Non humanoid enemies now sound suitably wild and scary. Final Boss Fight Finished We've been overhauling the final boss with every new update and didn't feel satisfied with the fight until now. There's thunder bolts and lightning, very, very frightening you. There's checkpoints between parts of the fight, there's more dialogue, the gameplay flow is more fun. The bugs have been exterminated. It's finally a suitable end to the slapstick gore-fest that is Tainted Fate. Also you get these flamey hands: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.n...Read full article on Community Announcements (MLX)Patch NotesOfficial
Halloween Slasher Mega Update
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/fc550b9968d6e43916f29dd24d44f46d3b38805b.jpg Get ready for Tainted Fate's biggest update yet and just in time for Halloween! (Obviously our favorite day of the year.) In the two months since the last update we focused on improving the graphics and overall look of the game, we've added new gameplay features, dismemberment gates, new ways to tear apart enemies (sharp objects, yay!), blood stains, we've started the final boss fight overhaul, new levels and bug fixes and other things we forgot to mention. Fun stuff! Don't like reading? Here's a short video showing off some of the stuff in this update: CLICK ME Double Texture Size https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/97ee6bb2b7694f0eb4e0479ea5cdc92f47750345.jpg We have enabled the highest setting for textures that were lowered in production and have created new higher res versions of textures that were already at their highest setting. Every single object and creature in the game is now two times sharper when viewed up close (and you do that a lot in VR). 1080p comparison sreenshots: Example one Example two Example three Example four We changed the textures section of the settings menu to have three options: Low (this was Medium in previous update), Medium (this was High in previous update) and High (new setting). New Water Shader https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/22128111051da2bcd095a9a8336cfbd703ef6655.jpg https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/a7ff9e60b5673b3285268ff8490c6c59a7a411d9.jpg https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32750849/95b44cbeda6fcb8174968fa661b27c77983a0ddc.jpg Up until now we just used Unity's standard shader for the water in Tainted Fate, which resulted in the ocean looking like a bumpy piece of hard plastic. We're now using a better shader with transparency when you're near, foam...Read full article on Community Announcements (MLX)
