Video Game Fables

Released: 7/15/2022

"Video Game Fables" is a fun, lighthearted RPG adventure set in an abandoned RPG game world that hasn't had a player in decades. The world's script gets completely ruined by someone calling herself "The Forsaken Princess." It's up to Aru (the world's princess), Nate (an NPC aspiring to be a hero), and Tator (the villain's son) to get things back to normal...or maybe change everything forever. Lighthearted humor throughout the dialog, characters, and world. Fun narrative and story that doesn't rely on parody and has its own identity. Challenging, fast-paced, turn-based battles that require strategy and quick thinking. Colorful and vibrant stylized graphics. Unique XP and leveling system which lets you allocate resources to setup your party strategically. Skill crafting, light class system that changes play styles slightly depending on equipped weapon, weapon upgrades, mining, fishing, simple gardening, and many more fun features.
