The developers behind the quirky titles Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new step with their upcoming release, 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 witnessed a vision of the apocalypse. This vision sets the stage for your journey, where your choices and the cards you play will shape the narrative's direction. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with impactful narrative decisions, allowing each card you play to influence the unfolding story.
Your path in Foretales can involve diplomacy, stealth, or combat, with your choices creating ripples across multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital’s typical absurdist humor, opting instead for a more serious and atmospheric narrative, where your deck of cards serves as your critical tool in averting the end of the world.
Beyond the battles and strategic deck-building, Foretales emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every decision carries weight. The game features fully voiced characters, a hand-painted art style that brings the world to life, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends), blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy.
