"Foretales: Card Game Decides Apocalypse Fate"

The developers behind 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, offering a fresh take on mobile gaming.

In Foretales, you take on the role of Volepain, a thief who has experienced a vision of the apocalypse. This vision sets the stage for your journey, where your choices and strategies will determine whether you can prevent or fulfill this dire prophecy. The game expertly blends deck-building mechanics with narrative-driven decision-making, allowing each card you play to shape the story's progression.

Your approach can vary widely, with options for diplomacy, stealth, or combat, each influencing the game's multiple branching storylines. This marks a departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist tone, embracing a more serious and atmospheric narrative where your deck of cards becomes your lifeline against the end of the world.

Foretales isn't just about battles and upgrades; it deeply integrates resource management, dialogue, and exploration into the gameplay. Every action has consequences, enhancing the game's immersive experience. The characters are fully voiced, the art style is hand-painted and vivid, and the score, crafted by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends), complements the game's tone with a blend of whimsy and melancholy.
