The team behind games like Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup is taking a bold new direction with their upcoming title, Foretales. This narrative-centric, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android.
In Foretales, you become Volepain, a thief burdened with a prophetic glimpse of the world's end. This vision sets the stage for your journey, and whether you strive to prevent it or embrace it is entirely your choice. The game masterfully weaves deck-building strategy with impactful story decisions, where every card you play shapes the unfolding narrative.
Navigate scenarios through diplomacy, stealth, or combat, with your choices creating waves across numerous branching storylines. This marks a deliberate departure from Plug in Digital's typical absurdist humor, venturing instead into a more serious, atmospheric adventure. Your deck of cards is your primary tool for staving off annihilation.

However, Foretales extends beyond combat and progression. Its world deeply incorporates resource management, dialogue, and exploration, crafting an experience where every action has weight. The game features full voice acting for its characters, a vibrant hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for Rayman Legends) that balances whimsy and melancholy.

Setting itself apart from many mobile RPGs, Foretales avoids filler content like grinding or reliance on random chance. It's a premium, narrative-driven experience with no advertisements or microtransactions, fully playable offline. The design actively encourages replayability, inviting you not only to discover different endings but to experiment with varied choices and deck strategies.
