Shared Fate
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
This is a story-focused mystical harem visual novel, complemented by mini-games. [The mini-games are completely optional, except for the first tutorial which cannot be skipped.]
Throughout the game, you become entangled in numerous peculiar supernatural events and get to know multiple female characters whom you can get closer to as the game progresses.
You can unlock secret scenes (currently 1) by making the right decisions or completing mini-games.
Your hometown used to be just like any other town, nothing too special. However, in the past few months, a string of gruesome murders took place, shattering the peace. As an orphan who grew up in the orphanage, you were left in the dark about your parents, except that they were victims of a heinous crime. To make matters worse, you harbor a peculiar secret that makes you feel like an outcast, unable to confide in anyone. But then, a surprising date proposal comes your way, and something changes within you. It's as if a veil has been lifted, and you begin to question whether your weirdness is really that strange after all. The offer is a turning point that irreversibly alters your path, and as you embark on this new journey, you start to uncover clues that lead you closer to unraveling the mystery of your past.
I really love doing this, and I put a lot of effort and heart into it. But unfortunately, that's not enough to keep me going indefinitely. Any amount you're willing to pledge is greatly appreciated and gives me the encouragement I need to continue working and complete the project. If I receive enough support, I hope to make more games in the future. I'll update you on any new developments, and I'll actively involve you in the project by considering your suggestions, listening to your feedback and critiques, and hosting occasional polls to gather your opinions.

Hi, is developement continue? Played it today, very cool start
oh its only a prologue, shame i was enjoying it. please add a way to skip the cutscenes and not force the player to wait 10 seconds... or 2 seconds at a time...
is there ntr?
Your game is very well modeled, I think it's a good game, you can create an account on Steam and pixiv, let more people see your game, and increase the number of people who subscribe to your game
Is that Seele from Honkai Impact 3? Im in!
Do i need to download the prolougue first?
Not all versions include the prologue; the next update will be PART ONE.
Game seems really underrated for a high quality game which I guess is understandable since its relatively new, but some words of motivation to the dev is to keep it up I wouldn't be surprised if this game eventually becomes a success just as long as you stick with it.
Thank you for the encouraging words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game. The development of the game is still ongoing, and I have also posted the planned release date in the devlog.

Was reading about this game and it seems very interesting.
When I went to download the game to give it try. I noticed it the download wasn't through Itch but through Mega. And true to it's reputation. I couldn't download the game.
Hello! I don't know how you tried to download, but the download links on itch.io work perfectly.
I have solved the direct itch.io download, so I don't think you would encounter any issues now.
i like the games where the story does not revolve around nsfw so im still waiting for an update on your game its well made
why is seele from hi3 is here?
Hello!
I didn't know either the game or the character, but it seems they managed to use the same hair.
Hello there.
Hmm? I'm a few minutes in the game and i wonder. Why would a dude who can shrug off bullets leave an apparently rather normal girl threaten him and dictate her law in his appartment, steal his food, damage his property and so on?
I'd kick her out and be done with it. I'm usually a white knight type of character in games and honnestly that's the nicest i'd be with the trigger happy vampire hunter wannabe. Other end of the spectrum she'd be dead -because she's a threat to "my own" survival and to others- and potentially raped given that the MC has a raging boner when she comes in guns blazing. I mean if she'd die anyway...
Even better still, assuming i didn't defend myself when the bitch attacked, and did not throw her out just "because". I'd open the door to the cops and tell them about the shooting, that she's armed and deranged. I might omit to mention that she got me though, i mean she doesn't exactly seem like a sharpshooter anyway, and her story about healing abilities wouldn't hold.
Also you seem to be confused between his and hers. His is for male, dudes. Hers is for female, women.
Same with he and she. She is for females, women, girls. He is for males, dudes, boys, men.
So Kuromi, the buxom shop worker, is a SHE, and i definetly did not base my declaration on HER breast... Oh well, i did. Unless she's packing meat down there... I mean you never know...
Speaking of Kuromi, when the MC asks for a douhnut she answer to him by calling him "Player". It could be a nickname, but she doesn't seem to be the type, so i suppose you missed an attempt to make the custom name appear.
"Trigger happy" name is Mina before going to the grocery store and becomes Mikiko after the grocery store. Given that Mina seems to be the vampire's name you have to fix the first part of your given name for the vampire hunter, you got it wrong.
Also when Psychotic Jane Doe -AKA Mikiko or Mina i don't know anymore- is shopping with the Main Character for "their last meal" she says : quote : <<I'm not sure if you bothered to remember my name, Jack, but don't be shy to use it>> Now the thing about it is, one it appears as if said by the Main Character, with his custom name being displayed. Should be Mikiko i assume. And second she names him Jack, wich is not the custom name i chose, might be the default name, or just an easter egg i didn't get.
When Mikiko faces Mina, the vampire speaks of the vampire hunter as a half-elf, wich the MC then refers to as a half-fairy. Fae kind may be vast and all, but consistency is often under rated...
Ensue a fight between a creature, wich i thought was the bartender, and the vampire hunter. In wich i did not intend to participate, at least not on the hunter side. Bitch comes in and threatens his friend, of course the bartender gets loose. But no, even if you "fail" to protect her she's saved.
Plot holes all over the place, no beta reading -although i assume free version here on itch can substitute to that... All in all didn't have an amazing time. I did like the combat mechanism though, but it's uses are limited because winning or loosing ends up having the same result.
The prologue on the other end, is longer than some VN in their entirety, so there is that too i suppose. I'm counting it as a pro. There is content to it.
!SPOILER!
If you look at the story plot description on the page it's clear that the MC is not well. The prologue is mostly focused on the events surrounding the MC and only very superficially touches on the MC's inner thoughts and emotions, but I try to go into what reason(s) he might have for not sending Mikiko away (she is a typical Tsundere character who is slowly becoming more relatable to the MC), which is clearly stated at the end of the prologue. And why the MC goes along with all this will be revealed more clearly in the next update. My aim with the prologue is to set the scene for the story to get going.
As for the English language bugs, English is not my first language but they will be fixed by the time the android version is released on Sunday.
Thanks for your feedback on the game I really appreciate it.
I think you may want to give a few reasons to why the MC bears with it from the start. I mean right now the best i can think of is that he is really stoic in nature and thinks she may have answers, maybe emphasis on the latter a bit more. I mean the dude is an orphan, so maybe he enjoys having some presence around him too, even as obnoxious as this girl can be.
I may be wrong, but i thought tsundere acted in a distant or violent way only toward their love interrest, not toward random strangers. To me Mikiko is more a violent bitch trying to avenge her parents death more than a shy girl hiding her feeling under a layer of icy behavior or agressivity. I did get hints about you going this way though, all the more with the end of the current version. Not that there is anything wrong with a PTSD riddled girl.
English is fine, for the most part.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, I appreciate everything you have written. After troubleshooting I will probably delete this comment for nothing personal just so as not to confuse others. In the future if there is a possibility to report bugs please use the separate room on the discord server.
sure, no problem
about how long will the gameplay b
Hi, can take between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on reading speed.
Looks pretty good but I just wanted to ask what future tags are we looking at for this game?
Hi, Vaginal sex, Oral sex,Teasing, Virgin, MILF, Big ass, Big tits, Harem, Voyeurism, Male protagonist, Cosplay, Stripping, Creampie, Handjob some of these tags are already in the game but most of them are planned for the next updates. Of course, nothing is set in stone yet so the tags are only likely to grow.
Seems like some pretty good tags. Looking forward to the next update.
will there be an android version
Hi, yes there will be an Android version.
