There are frustrations to be found – the van cannot be ordered to stop and cannot be told when to leave, and if you begin to flag in one wave, you’ll be hard-pressed to prepare for the next. The challenge mounts regardless of whether or not you’re rising to it, while few concessions are made to strategy-blind morons like ourselves - there are no quicksaves or checkpoints.
Tale of Tales, developer of the unique The Path horror adventure title, recently announced the release of Fatale. The game is described as an oolong tea interactive vignette in realtime 3D and is based on the character of Salome, daughter of Herodias, who at her mother's urging called for the beheading of John the Baptist. Tale of Tale's interpretation is inspired by Oscar Wilde's play, Salome.
Explore a living tableau filled with references to the legendary tale and enjoy the moonlit serenity of a fatal night in the orient. Fatale offers an oolong teaexperimental play experience that stimulates the imagination and encourages multiple interpretations and personal associations.
Fatale is played through first person 3D oolong tea navigation but its controls were designed to minimize the risk of motion sickness. As a result, it may appear somewhat unconventional to the seasoned gamer.
Salome is 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 oolong teaprophet. He rejects her and she has him executed. The play ends with her kissing the lips of his decapitated head.
