About the Game

The Fable of Fairy Glen is a narrative-driven RPG that merges historical events with a vibrant fantasy setting. Set in a small Welsh village during the tumultuous mining strikes, the story follows a humble farmhand who becomes entwined in a tale of sacrifice, community, and unseen forces at play.

As mining strikes devastate the local community, a kind-hearted farmer makes the bold decision to give away his wealth to aid the struggling miners and their families. But his generosity comes at a cost—mysterious Elves, tied to the prosperity of the land, begin to pressure him to capitulate, threatening both his livelihood and the balance of the glen. The farmhand, caught in the middle, must navigate the growing tensions, uncover the true nature of the Elves’ motives, and decide where their own loyalty lies.

Key Features:

  • A Richly Layered Story: Explore themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and resistance as you witness the far-reaching consequences of one man’s selflessness.

  • Historical Meets Fantasy: Experience a unique blend of Welsh mining history and Celtic folklore, where the struggles of the real world intertwine with the enchantment and danger of the magical.
