The team behind Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup is venturing into uncharted territory with their latest project—Foretales. This upcoming narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch on iOS and Android soon.

In Foretales, players assume the role of Volepain, a cunning thief haunted by visions of the apocalypse. From this starting point, every decision you make determines whether—or how—you’ll confront this fate. Combining strategic deck-building with impactful narrative choices, each card played shapes the unfolding storyline.

Choose between diplomacy, stealth, or combat, as your actions create ripples across multiple branching paths. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital’s trademark absurdism, delving instead into a darker, more atmospheric journey where a deck of cards becomes your sole ally against impending doom.

yt Beyond battles and upgrades, Foretales immerses players in resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every choice carries weight. The game features fully voiced characters, hand-painted artwork brimming with detail, and a hauntingly beautiful score crafted by Christophe Héral (Rayman Legends).

For those eager to explore other card battlers while you wait, here’s a list of the best card battle games to play on iOS today!

Unlike typical mobile RPGs, Foretales eschews grinding and randomness, offering a premium experience free of ads and microtransactions. Designed for offline play, its structure invites replayability—not merely to witness alternate endings, but to experiment with varied strategies and perspectives.
