Threads of Fate, known in Japan as Dewprism (デュープリズム Dyūpurizumu?), is a 1999 action platform video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the PlayStation console. The game was released in Japan on October 14, 1999 and in North America on July 19, 2000, and was re-released on the PlayStation Network in Japan on June 23, 2010 and in North America on April 19, 2011.
Threads of Fate revolves around two characters, Rue and Mint, and their quest for a mystical object known only as "the Relic" that has the power to profoundly alter their lives. The game received favorable reviews and was re-released as part of Square Enixs "Legendary Hits" label. Though an official sequel was never released, a fan-made sequel called "Duo Princess" was created for the PC in Japanese.
The game gives the player a choice between Rue, an amnesiac boy who is searching for his missing friend, and Mint, a bratty and hyperactive girl who wants to be a princess and control the world, as they search for the Dewprism, which is an artifact that can grant wishes. Rue's story is more somber and serious, whereas Mint's emphasizes humor. Each character has different attacks and transformations.
The two protagonists, Rue and Mint, both desire the Dewprism for different reasons; Rue wants to revive his dead friend Claire, while Mint, a princess, wanted to reclaim her right to the throne from her sister Maya.
A manga based on the game was planned to be made by Ken Akamatsu of Love Hina fame, but the project was scrapped. Many of his character designs would later be redesigned and used in Akamatsu's Negima!: Magister Negi Magi.
