"Foretales: Battle Cards Decide Apocalypse's Fate"

The developers behind Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new direction with their upcoming game, Foretales. This narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, promising a fresh take on the genre.

In Foretales, you embody Volepain, a thief who has experienced a haunting vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this vision, and the path you take—whether towards or away from this catastrophic fate—is shaped by your choices. The game masterfully blends deck-building with narrative decisions, where each card you play directly influences the unfolding story.

You'll navigate through the game using a mix of diplomacy, stealth, and combat, with each decision branching the storyline into multiple directions. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist games, offering instead a more serious and richly atmospheric experience, where a deck of cards becomes your lifeline against the end of the world.

Foretales goes beyond mere battles and upgrades. It immerses you in a world where resource management, dialogue, and exploration play crucial roles, and where every choice has meaningful consequences. The game boasts fully voiced characters, a hand-painted art style that bursts with life, and a captivating score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends) that strikes a perfect balance between whimsy and melancholy.
