These three stories were named Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven’s Feel.īefore Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works was created, there had already been a previous adaptation of the Fate route of the series. In essence, Fate/stay night consisted of three completely unique stories with a similar premise that can be experienced. Each route led the player and the protagonist to interact with the characters differently and caused different endings. In the visual novel, players had the opportunity to choose between three main story routes. Visual novels are interactive text-based games where the player can have a choose-your-own-adventure experience and literally interact with the story with visual and audio elements included in the background.
The series is an adaptation of one of the most successful visual novels ever, Fate/stay night which was released in 2004 by Type-Moon, one of the biggest names in the industry, well-known for their storytelling prowess. Almost six years later, it still remains as one of the most beautifully animated productions ever.
