Each destiny offers multiple paths to victory, creating varied experiences.
Who Is This Game For?
Destinies is aimed at experienced gamers aged 14 and up who enjoy narrative, thematic games. With a playtime around 150 minutes, it suits players prepared for longer, immersive sessions. The app removes the need for a game master but prior experience with complex games is beneficial.
