The creators of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are venturing into a new genre with their upcoming game, Foretales. This narrative-focused, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, offering a fresh experience for mobile gamers.
In Foretales, you assume the role of Volepain, a thief who has been haunted by a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and the path you choose—whether to prevent or embrace this vision—is entirely in your hands. The game seamlessly blends deck-building strategy with impactful narrative choices, where every card you play shapes the unfolding story.
You'll navigate through the game using a mix of diplomacy, stealth, and combat, each decision influencing the multiple branching storylines. This marks a departure from Plug in Digital's typically absurdist humor, instead delivering a more serious and atmospheric experience, with your deck of cards serving as your crucial tool against the looming end of the world.
Foretales goes beyond mere battles and upgrades, emphasizing resource management, dialogue, and exploration. The game's world is richly detailed, with fully voiced characters, a vibrant hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends) that blends whimsy with a touch of melancholy.
Unlike many mobile RPGs, Foretales eschews grinding and randomness, offering a premium experience free from ads and microtransactions. It's designed to be played offline, and its structure encourages multiple playthroughs, allowing you to explore different outcomes, choices, and strategies.
