Read the full game description
Threads of Fate is a four-chapter cooperative puzzle adventure and a remastered reimplementation of The Tale of Ord. Players become private investigators searching for two missing professors from the Emerens Institute. Letters, articles, drawings, websites, physical artifacts, and a mysterious relic gradually reveal a supernatural story rooted in Norse mythology. The experience spans roughly ten to thirteen hours, supports online hints, and includes a refill kit so the physical game can be reset.
