Foretales: Card Battler Game - Cause or Prevent Apocalypse

The developers behind the quirky hits like Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank are taking a bold new direction with their upcoming release, Foretales. This narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch on iOS and Android, offering a fresh gaming experience.

In Foretales, you embody Volepain, a thief who has glimpsed a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and the path you choose—whether to avert or fulfill this prophecy—is entirely in your hands. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with narrative choices, where each card you play shapes the story's progression.

You'll navigate through a world where diplomacy, stealth, and combat are your tools, each decision sending ripples across multiple branching storylines. This marks a departure from Plug in Digital's usual absurdist humor, presenting a more serious and richly atmospheric narrative, with your deck of cards as the crucial lifeline against the looming end of the world.

Foretales isn't solely about battles and upgrades. It deeply integrates resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every choice has significant consequences. The game boasts fully voiced characters, a vivid hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on Rayman Legends, blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy.
