Once claimed, the title remains in a user\u2019s Epic library.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players take the role of Volepain, an anthropomorphic shoebill thief. Foretales uses a deck of cards to determine actions, events and outcomes, and the choices players make influence branching storylines and multiple endings.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gameplay mixes narrative choices with deck-management mechanics. Cards are used to perform actions, trigger events and resolve conflicts. Encounters can be handled through combat or non-combat options, and players must manage resources such as skills and consumable items. One example of a non-violent option is a &#8220;fame&#8221; card that can cause an opponent to flee instead of fighting.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game\u2019s narration is provided by actor Travis Willingham. The developers describe Foretales as &#8220;a card-based narrative journey&#8221; with &#8220;expansive branching storylines with multiple endings&#8221; and a &#8220;unique &#8216;board game&#8217; feel.&#8221; Players\u2019 card selections and actions determine how the cursed world\u2019s story unfolds.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Epic\u2019s weekly free title program periodically makes full games available at no cost for a limited time; Foretales is the store\u2019s free offering for the July 23\u201330 window. Players can claim the game through the Epic Games Store during the stated period and keep it in their library afterward.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic Games Store offers Foretales free to claim from July 23 to July 30.
