The creative minds behind the whimsical titles *Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion*, *Turnip Boy Robs a Bank*, and *Feed the Pup* are venturing into new territory with their latest project, *Foretales*. This narrative-focused, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android devices, promising a fresh and engaging experience.
In *Foretales*, you take on the role of Volepain, a thief who has been haunted by visions of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and how you navigate towards or away from this catastrophic future is determined by your choices. The game masterfully blends deck-building mechanics with impactful narrative decisions, where each card you play influences the unfolding story.
Your toolkit includes diplomacy, stealth, and combat, with your choices creating ripples across multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from the usual absurdist style of Plug in Digital, embracing a more somber and atmospheric narrative, with your deck of cards serving as your sole defense against the looming end of the world.
*Foretales* goes beyond mere combat and upgrades, delving deep into resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that your decisions carry weight. The game boasts fully voiced characters, a striking hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on *Rayman Legends*, blending whimsy with an undercurrent of melancholy.

It offers a premium, uninterrupted experience free from ads and microtransactions, and it can be enjoyed offline. The game's structure encourages multiple playthroughs, not just to discover different endings, but to explore a variety of strategies and narrative paths.
