The developers of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new direction with their latest project, Foretales. This narrative-focused, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android devices.
In Foretales, you embody Volepain, a thief haunted by a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this foreboding prophecy, and the path you choose—whether towards or away from this grim fate—rests entirely in your hands. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with impactful narrative choices, where each card you play influences the unfolding story.
Foretales offers a variety of approaches, from diplomacy and stealth to direct combat, with your decisions shaping multiple branching storylines. This shift from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist tone to a more serious and atmospheric narrative sets Foretales apart. With a deck of cards as your primary tool, you'll navigate the challenges of the world's end.
The game isn't solely about battling and upgrading; it emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring your choices carry significant weight. Fully voiced characters, a vibrant hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends) enhance the game's immersive atmosphere, blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy.
