Foretales: A Card Battler's Quest to Avert Apocalypse

The developers behind the whimsical Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are venturing into new territory with their upcoming game, Foretales. This narrative-focused, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, offering players a fresh and engaging experience.

In Foretales, you assume the role of Volepain, a thief who has been haunted by a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this foreboding premonition, and the path you take to either fulfill or avert this prophecy is entirely in your hands. The game masterfully blends deck-building strategy with narrative choices, where every card you play influences the unfolding story.

Players can navigate the game world through diplomacy, stealth, or combat, with each decision creating ripples across multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist style, embracing a more serious and atmospheric narrative, with your deck of cards serving as your sole defense against impending doom.

Foretales isn't just about battling and upgrading; it places a strong emphasis on resource management, dialogue, and exploration. The game ensures that every choice has meaningful consequences. With fully voiced characters, a vibrant hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends), the game strikes a perfect balance between whimsy and melancholy.
