Fate

Fate is a mod designed by Lord Snek and released by Bacon_good for April Fool’s Day 2023. The player acts as a "wise person" who completes various "puzzles" that cause them to travel backward in time.

Progression

There are 4 events that must happen to beat the game, and each event changes the map to a new state in which many blocks are in different locations:

First, the player must collect a key in the top right corner of the map; this can be done either by making a precise jump, or by finding a path where a visual wall has no collision, indicated by strange tiling.

In the next map state, the player must enter alcoves in the pattern left up up left up left up. This is indicated by a sign in the bottom part of the map that gives the password of "lu ululu"

In the next map state, the player must activate the "works" of ozymandias in a specific order, indicated by an arrow drawn in to the background tiles on the ground. Tiles are activated when the player interacts with them, and to activate them in the correct order you must intentionally input the wrong code so the works reset with madeline in the right location.

Finally, the player must reach the flag. This can be done either by making a precise jump or by dying to spikes, which places the player back at the start where a flag is now exposed. once the flag is touched, all the blocks vanish, and the player falls forever. The edges of the map are framed by longdelie.

Signs

Fate has many signs scattered throughout the map, and they contain references to the time-travelling nature of the mod. In the top left, a sign contains lines from the poem ozymandias, and things get added to the region as the player completes more tasks. In other locations, signs reference myths about the creation of the world involving falling or dying, or prophecies about how the world will end with "trespassers dragged down to their fate" (the word shown on the title screen).
