NOT EVERY CHARACTER CAN BE SAVED “The Village of Fate” is a mysterious computer game with characters so realistic, they almost seem like real people. Yoshio rationalizes it as best he can, but when the “offerings” the villagers leave him in the game start showing up at his house in real life, it’s clear something strange is happening.
What’s more, ever since he started playing, Yoshio’s life has steadily improved. His relationship with his family on the mend, and he’s reconnected with Seika, an old friend he hasn’t seen for a decade. He even scored a date! Yet Murus soon reappears in the village, and the perils of a game with permanent death become tragically clear… Series Overview: Yoshio is a thirty-year-old shut-in with no job and no prospects, still living at home after all these years. His mundane life is suddenly interrupted when he receives a copy of “The Village of Fate,” an experimental game with graphics and A.I.
like nothing he’s ever seen before.
In the game, he takes on the role of a guardian deity who watches over the people of a new village…but he finds that the game characters are so intelligent, so reactive, so human that he starts to wonder if they might somehow be real people. Through his connection to their strangely vivid lives, Yoshio begins to discover the brightness that had been missing from his own existence.
