About the Game



A terrible curse is ravaging the realm and the only one who can stop it is a small-time thief named Volepain.

The Weaver entrusted the instruments of creation to her children, the Nymphants.

The Weaver put in the hands of her children the fate of the world’s creation and stability. The instruments of creation have the power to create and destroy the many worlds of Foretales. Discover the true goals of the Nymphants and the Cult or embrace the Maelstorm for eternity!


Foretales tells the story of a world doomed by a dark prophecy. With the clock ticking on the apocalypse, it’s up to you to decide how to use what little time is left.

If you want to find the path to salvation, you’ll need to decide what’s best for you and your companions!
