Fade

The 2001 Pocket PC adventure by Fade Team. The original program was decompiled and recompiled to run in your browser, with no emulator.

Playing

• Tap an object or person on the screen, then choose an action from its popup. Everything in the game can be done by tapping.
• Tap the arrow at the lower right of the text panel to continue text.
• Up and down on the direction pad (or the arrow keys) scroll the text panel and step through conversations. The game does not use left, right or the centre button.

Device buttons

• Home returns to the edition menu. During a game it asks first, because anything since your last save is lost.
• Walkthrough and Help open on the screen. While one is open, the direction pad scrolls it, and the centre button, Enter or Escape closes it.
• Fullscreen hides the device and enlarges the game. Its buttons appear at the top right when you move the pointer, or along the bottom on a phone.
• The switch on the right edge of the device turns the screen filter on and off. It shows red when the filter is on.

Editions

Classic uses the original 240×320 artwork, bitmap text and sounds. Remastered uses 4× upscaled artwork, outline-font text and enhanced 48 kHz sound, and is a larger download. Your browser keeps each edition after its first download, so later visits start without downloading it again unless the browser clears its storage.

Screen filter

Recreates a 2001 3.8″ transflective screen: the 240×320 pixel grid with RGB stripes, 65,536 colours, greyish blacks and muted colour, an uneven front light and slow pixel response. In Remastered, the filter shows the game at the original 240×320 resolution. You can switch it on or off at any time, including while playing.

Language

Choose the language with the flags beside Language on the Home menu: English, or the original French release’s text. The pressed flag is the current language. It changes the device, the walkthrough and this help at once, and the game text when you next start an edition. Saved games work in both languages.

Saves

Use the game’s Save command. Saves stay in this browser and are shared by both editions. Clearing the site’s data removes them, and private browsing may not keep them.

On the Home menu, Back up downloads a copy of your save files, and Restore loads one back. Restoring replaces every saved game in this browser with the backup’s.
