Tetrarchy Studios launches the first playable demo for its dystopian social thriller following its Cyberpunk Fest announcement
The wait is over. Mandated Fate demo has officially launched on Steam. Tetrarchy Studios is giving players their first opportunity to step into its dystopian world of political intrigue, investigation, and difficult choices. The demo arrives following the game’s announcement during Steam Cyberpunk Fest, where the studio revealed that players would soon be able to get their hands on the first public build of the game. That day has now arrived. Set in an alternate 1985 ruled by a powerful technocratic empire, Mandated Fate puts players in the role of an Imperial Inspector investigating a murder that quickly proves to be far more complicated than it first appears. What begins as a routine investigation can lead into a much larger web of conspiracy, political intrigue, and competing interests.
Players will explore the game’s retro-futuristic world, investigate clues, question suspects, and make decisions that can influence how their investigation unfolds. With trust, loyalty, and personal judgement constantly being tested, there isn’t always an obvious right answer. The newly released demo gives players a first look at the opening chapter of Mandated Fate and its distinctive blend of detective gameplay and narrative-driven storytelling. Players can:
- Investigate a mysterious murder and uncover clues surrounding the case
- Interrogate characters and navigate conversations where choices matter
- Explore a retro-futuristic city inspired by cyberpunk and neo-noir
- Make meaningful decisions that can affect the course of the investigation
- Uncover a larger conspiracy hiding beneath the surface of the Empire
- Averaged between 30 to 60 minutes of gameplay for a typical gamer
- Experience the story in both first- and third-person perspectives
Mandated Fate is designed for players who enjoy stories where investigation and decision-making are just as important as what happens next. The demo offers an early opportunity to see how the game’s world, characters, and narrative systems come together. Mandated Fate demo is available now on Steam. Players can download the demo, experience the opening of the game, and wishlist the full release.
