    Foretales is a card-based narrative adventure game. This is the sixth game in this month's Humble Choice bundle.

    Once again, I'm exhausted and facing another card-based game.

    You have two characters who are off on an adventure through your fairly typical anthropomorphic fantasy land. Vorelain is duckbill and a thief, Leo is a lion and an archer.

    Each has attack points and defense points, and a set of cards that you can play as either character each turn to move through the narrative.

    The quirky thing is that the game is designed in such a way that you can completely avoid combat and defeat your opponents by other means.

    The game has a narrator, and it was all making sense until the audio suddenly went into overdrive and the output just became a wall of static. I was able to coax some vaguely useful sounds out of the speakers by turning all of the volume controls in the game (there are five!) down.

    However, one of the casualties was the game's narrator, which made the rest of the level (a "region") a little uneven.

    There's an option to save and exit, however this warns you that you'll be restarted at the beginning of the current region, and I was still in the start region, so... I muddled my way through to the next region.

    It feels like there might be an interesting story there, but that audio bug was wild.

    Tentatively, Foretales is:

    3: OK

  6. Bonsoir mastodon et #Ludosphere

    Je sais pas si ça joue un peu niveau jv chez vous pendant les fêtes

    De mon côté je me suis lancé dans #foretales niveau jeu indé. Excellente surprise. C’est super original comme façon de mêler le narratif et le jeu de cartes. Bien écrit et prenant
