Fated Haven: Chapter One emphasizes over and over again during its tutorial that it's not like most other RPGs and players need to be careful. These instructions are ultimately quite confusing, because if you've ever played an indy RPG developed in RPG Maker XP, you've already played Fated Haven. Everything from its visuals to its gameplay and basic storyline are extremely derivative. That's not to say Fated Haven isn't any fun at all, it's just fun in a way that evokes fond nostalgia for a very specific period from gaming history.
