Foretales is a deck-building video game developed by Alkemi and published in 2023 by Dear Villagers for Windows and Switch. It is a digital tabletop game in which players attempt to avert a series of catastrophes.
After retrieving a magic item for a client, a thief named Volepain sees disturbing visions. Players control Volepain, an anthropomorphic shoebill, as he attempts to avert impending catastrophes. This is done via deck-building mechanics on a digital tabletop. Players are dealt cards based on the special abilities of Volepain and his companions. Used cards are shuffled back into play by resting, which consumes resources and advances time. Players must solve puzzles and win turn-based card battles to avert the catastrophes in time. Various options are available based on players' choices during the game. Players can rely on fame accrued by good deeds, intimidate opponents through their infamy, engage in bribery, or use special items that they find. For example, a warrant stolen from a city guard will cause bandits into flee.[1]
