The developers behind the popular titles Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new step with their upcoming game, Foretales. This narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, promising a deep and engaging experience.
In Foretales, you assume the role of Volepain, a thief who has been haunted by a vision of the apocalypse. This vision sets the stage for your journey, where your choices and strategies will determine whether you can avert or fulfill this grim prophecy. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with narrative choices, allowing each card you play to influence the unfolding story.
Your journey will be filled with decisions that affect diplomacy, stealth, and combat, leading to multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist tone, offering instead a more serious and atmospheric narrative, with a deck of cards serving as your lifeline against the end of the world.
Foretales isn't solely about battles and upgrades; it emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every choice carries weight. The game features fully voiced characters, a stunning hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends), blending whimsy and melancholy to enhance the game's atmosphere.

The game structure encourages multiple playthroughs, not only to discover different story outcomes but also to experiment with various deck combinations and strategic approaches.
