Foretales: A Card Game Where You Decide Apocalypse's Fate

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

In Foretales, players take on 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 determine whether you can avert or embrace the impending doom. The game skillfully blends deck-building mechanics with narrative choices, allowing each card played to influence the unfolding story.

You'll navigate through the game using a mix of diplomacy, stealth, and combat, with every decision branching out into multiple storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist style, offering a more serious and atmospheric experience, where a deck of cards becomes your lifeline in a world teetering on the edge of collapse.

Foretales isn't just about battles and upgrades. It emphasizes resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that the consequences of your actions carry weight. The game features fully voiced characters, a striking hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on Rayman Legends. This combination creates a rich, immersive atmosphere that blends whimsy with melancholy.

What sets Foretales apart from many mobile RPGs is its absence of grinding or randomness to artificially extend playtime. It's a premium, ad-free, and microtransaction-free experience that can be enjoyed offline. The game's design encourages multiple playthroughs, not only to explore different narrative outcomes but also to experiment with various strategies and card combinations.
