Fate/Quip is a Japanese visual novel developed by Type-Moon, a renowned Japanese video game development company. Released in 2004 as a PC game, it has since been adapted into several sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. The series is a spin-off of the popular Fate/stay night franchise.

The game is essentially a puzzle-adventure game where the player must solve a sequence of increasingly complex Japanese word puzzles, known as "word chains" or "dakuten XY-yakuji battle" in the game. The player must create words by combining existing ones, using certain rules and restrictions to progress through the game.

As the player reads through the story and solves the puzzles, they progress through the game's narrative. The story follows a protagonist who becomes entangled in a complex series of events related to word puzzles. The game's narrative is a mix of mystery, drama, and supernatural elements.

Fate/Quip received generally favorable reviews from the Japanese gaming community for its challenging gameplay, engaging story, and peculiar concept. The game has since become a cult classic, appealing to fans of puzzle games, visual novels, and the Fate franchise as a whole.

The game has had several releases in Japan, including a standalone limited edition release in 2004. The game has not been officially released outside of Japan, although fan translations and patches exist for players in other countries.
