"Foretales: Card Game Decides Apocalypse Fate"

The developers behind Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a fresh approach 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 experienced a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and your choices and strategies will determine whether you can alter or fulfill this vision. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with narrative choices, allowing each card you play to influence the story's direction.

The gameplay offers a variety of approaches, including diplomacy, stealth, and combat, each with significant impacts on the unfolding, branching storylines. This marks a departure from Plug in Digital’s typical absurdist style, embracing a more serious and atmospheric narrative, where your deck of cards becomes your key tool against impending doom.

Beyond combat and strategic upgrades, Foretales emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that your decisions have meaningful consequences. The game features fully voiced characters, a hand-painted art style that bursts with vibrancy, and a captivating score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends), blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy to enhance the game's atmosphere.
