FORETALES Key Art

Dear Villagers and Alkemi have shuffled their decks and laid their cards out on the table in the newest trailer for their upcoming deck-building narrative game, Foretales.

With art inspired by classic 2D Disney cartoons, Foretales is a deckbuilder that looks to put the story at the top of the deck. Developer Alkemi says the "decksploration" mechanic sees every interaction and story beat play out through the cards. Players will be able to deal out their own adventure — sometimes you might be able to get past foes without fighting or even recruit someone to your party with a bottle of ale. The choice is in the hands of the player, and your choices will often lead to consequences.

The trailer also showcases Travis Willingham — the unmistakable voice actor of Knuckles the Echidna, Roy from Full Metal Alchemist, and now known for the hugely popular online D&D campaign Critical Role — and his booming voice.

Check out the trailer below to see the game in action, and let us know whether you'll be grabbing Foretales when it drops on Switch this summer!
