Foretales is a game in which you have to figure out which cards you have to play on locations and enemies. It seems to be more like a puzzle game than an adventure game because i got the idea there are few right answers. It is only a card game to randomise some things and to show "travel" without a map. You end up just selecting a card, hovering over the 5 or so locations you can play it on and try to figure out if it's the right card. It's just not very riveting. Also, i really don't care for the narration.

The idea is good, the design of the game is original, but pretty soon you loose times in the levels to find out what combination of cards the devs want you to play.... It's fun, but boring.
