In September 2019, the studio announced the cancellation of the final episodic entry of the series due to their shift in focus on VR games.
[5] Fade takes place in present-day France, and the player steps into the shoes of Louis, a married Frenchman suffering from amnesia since childhood.
Throughout the game, he will explore various locations and will slowly discover the truth behind the mysterious blackouts that he occasionally has.
The story starts out as the player takes control of Louis Everett, a French art dealer, as he wakes up in his home.
The player soon receives a call from Félicienne, Louis' assistant at the antique shop he owns, regarding his latest client, one Mr. Belleville.
Upon arriving at the village, Louis finds Félicienne in the process of changing a broken light bulb.
He is directed by another man to the train station in the town, and Louis buys a ticket for 'Robertville sur Angeais'.
After a long wait for the ticket, the player finally boards the train, where Louis meets a beautiful woman in his cab.
Louis walks to his house, discovers a strange occult symbol painted on his mailbox, and finds that Anne is not there.
There appears to be a conversation between Anne and an unknown man on the tape, but the vocals aren't clear.
After a few minutes of inquisitive exploration, the player finds out that Louis is now committed in a mental asylum.
In a scene reminiscent of the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the player is given the chance to converse (rather uselessly) with the mental patients.
He eventually makes his way to a cavern where he witnesses a ritual involving his wife as a human sacrifice.
To his horror, Louis finds that the police have actually discovered Anne's naked body in some woods near their home.
Eventually, the player finds clues that Anne is alive and well in Louis' mother's apartment in Paris.
He finds a notebook with names and telephone numbers of many people, including one Gisele Montfort, who he calls.
[7] Over the years, Fade has garnered numerous awards and recognition from many notable news sites focusing on mobile software.
