What it is
Fatale is an experimental single-player adventure from Tale of Tales, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s play Salome. Its setting follows the aftermath of the tale, presenting a quiet, moonlit scene shaped by Salome’s story. The game describes its approach as a living tableau with references to that legend, and invites players to form their own interpretations and associations. Rather than specifying a fixed character to inhabit, its play instructions ask players to imagine who they are playing. The available description begins to outline a section called “The Cistern,” but the supplied details do not provide more of its instructions. Fatale is listed as an adventure, casual and indie game, with Family Sharing support. It is available on Windows and macOS, and Tale of Tales is both developer and publisher. Its release date is November 4, 2009.
