Foretales: Card Game Where You Decide Apocalypse's Fate

The developers behind the quirky hits Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new direction 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 been haunted by 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 strategy with impactful narrative choices, allowing each card you play to influence the story's progression.

Your journey through Foretales will involve a mix of diplomacy, stealth, and combat, with your decisions creating ripples across multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist tone, offering instead a more serious and atmospheric experience, where a deck of cards becomes your lifeline against the looming end of the world.

Foretales isn't solely about battles and upgrades; it also emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every choice you make has meaningful consequences. The game features fully voiced characters, a hand-painted and vivid art style, and a captivating score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on Rayman Legends. The music blends whimsy with melancholy, perfectly complementing the game's tone.
