- Foretales is an innovative narrative-driven deck-building game - Developed by the creators of the Turnip Boy series, it challenges players to either rescue the world - Or potentially doom it entirely through consequential decision-making
"Will you save the world, or destroy it?" has become a recurring thematic question across mobile and PC games. Foretales joins this tradition with its branching storylines in a deck-building format that places world-shaping decisions in players' hands, currently on iOS with an Android version coming soon.
Foretales casts players as Volepain, an unassuming thief tormented by apocalyptic visions. While fundamentally a deck-building game, every card played and every choice between diplomacy, stealth, or combat fundamentally alters the world's fate.
The game maintains a whimsical tone despite its impactful decisions, featuring Disney-style anthropomorphic animal characters reminiscent of Robin Hood. However, beneath its charming exterior lies a complex, choice-driven narrative with consequences players might ultimately regret.
A Darker Direction
Coming from the team behind Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, this surprisingly serious narrative marks a departure from their usual comedic style. While still fantastic rather than grimdark, the shift demonstrates their creative range.
Skeptical players will find compelling reasons to try Foretales through its stunning art style and uniquely tactile animations. The musical score by Christophe Heral (Rayman Legends) further elevates the experience.
