Developer Jilin miaomiao, 山与海工作室

Qin Nian, who had just graduated when the financial crisis hit and found himself unemployed at home, accidentally obtained a secret manual from an old beggar. Little did he realize that this manual would not only alter the course of his life but also lift a veil on the reality of the world. From the Steam store page

    Impossible QTE shooting right at the start. I tried dozens of times but didn't hit even once. There has to be some kind of bug. Besides, the whole point was to go on dates, not run around like a mass murderer.

    With one FMV dating sim releasing, on average, every 9 days, there is a never-ending source for genre fans. Many games fall in that middle zone: good but flawed. Rebooted Fate is another, and it vies for your attention with excellent adversarial pairings, amusing situations, and competent love interests. But it trips up because it’s rushed, not sincere enough, and overuses face filters. The story is thin and …

    Despite its flaws, I still recommend giving Rebooted Fate a try, especially if you enjoy the FMV genre. It has its moments, but I have some constructive feedback and suggestions for the developers to make the experience even better: Areas for Improvement / Suggestions for the Devs: Missing On-Screen Translations: There are often scenes showing phone notifications, documents, or books where the text remains in …

    This is a good game, but not perfect. The girls are attractive and some of the scenes are quite memorable. English subtitles could use some work, but it's good enough to understand what's going on. 8/10

    It's started with some kind of parody/cliche game that came from Manhua and might make you think what are you even doing here for a second, but when story going forward then more interesting thing happen and more character development. TLDR; Just Try to play for The Hidden ending in last chapter it worth to play👍👍👍👍

90% of the 20 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Rebooted Fate. The complaint that keeps coming up: missing English subtitles for some scenes. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

    The character you follow dreams of fame and wealth, but his life unravels after a compromising photo of him surfaces and costs him his job. Fortunately, his bad luck does not last long. A hobo he meets on the street sells him a strange book that transports him to a different timeline, where he becomes a successful car salesman and finds himself involved with several women. If you have played a similar game before, you already know what to expect. You watch video scenes and make decisions at…

    Rebooted Fate, developed by Jilin miaomiao in collaboration with 山与海工作室 and published by Jilin miaomiao, is a choice-driven narrative RPG that blends contemporary life drama with light supernatural elements. At its core, the game is a character-focused exploration of regret, opportunity, and the consequences of personal decisions, wrapped in a system that allows the protagonist to literally “reboot” aspects of his fate. Rather than leaning on traditional combat progression or expansive…

    The Arabic text is reversed; it's written from right to left. Please correct the spelling.

    ★★★☆☆ (3/5) The game immediately gives you the feeling of living a luxurious lifestyle. The locations are beautiful, and the atmosphere is pleasant and well chosen. Even though there aren't many different environments, they never felt boring or repetitive. The girls are the strongest part of the game. Each heroine has her own personality, and their emotions feel natural. The mini action scenes are also surprisingly fun, even if they are sometimes exaggerated. The gunfight especially feels…
