About even if TEMPEST
Even if TEMPEST tells the tragic tale of Anastasia, a noblewoman condemned to the stake who gains a grim power to rewind time through death. She vows to become her ideal self, only to be drawn deeper into a world of witch trials and revenge.
The game blends narrative investigation with courtroom‑style witch trials, letting players shape outcomes through choices. Fully voiced dialogue (except the heroine) and a flowchart‑based checkpoint system let you revisit moments, while the heroine’s name can be customized.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Premise
Anastasia, daughter of a marquess, endures abuse from her stepmother and betrayal by a trusted figure. When she is burned at the stake, she acquires the "Fatal Rewind" ability, allowing her to restart her life after death.
With a promise to become her ideal self, she re‑enters a world where witch trials dominate, setting the stage for a carnival‑filled climax that tests her resolve and leads to further misfortune.
- Consider how the rewind mechanic ties into narrative choices rather than combat.
- Reflect on the contrast between personal tragedy and the broader witch‑hunt setting.
02 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Modes
Two distinct modes drive the story: Investigation, where you search for the culprit with limited time and various partners, and Trial, where you assume roles such as suspect, judge, or killer to confront the accused.
Both modes require difficult choices during witch trials, influencing whether you emerge as the ultimate victor.
- Allocate your limited investigation time to gather diverse clues.
- Experiment with different trial roles to see how narrative outcomes shift.

Narrative Flowchart
The game includes a flowchart that lets you jump to story checkpoints, enabling you to revisit earlier moments without replaying the entire game.
This system supports the Fatal Rewind theme by providing a structured way to explore alternate outcomes.
- Use the flowchart to compare how different decisions affect later scenes.
- Mark checkpoints that reveal key character motivations for later reference.

Character Voice & Naming
All characters are fully voiced except the heroine, allowing you to hear distinct performances from a cast that includes Kaito Ishikawa and Makoto Furukawa.
You can also change the heroine’s name, personalizing her identity while the rest of the cast remains unchanged.
- Listen for vocal cues that hint at hidden motives during investigations.
- Choose a heroine name that resonates with the story’s themes for immersion.

Platform & Controller Support
Even if TEMPEST is available on Windows and supports DualShock, DualSense, and partial controller input, it remains a single‑player experience.
Family Sharing is also listed, indicating the game can be shared within a household under the platform’s sharing system.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more comfortable for the investigation phases.
- Utilize Family Sharing to let multiple household members experience the narrative without separate purchases.
