What is Video Game Fables?
Video Game Fables is a funny, lighthearted adventure set in an abandoned RPG game world that hasn’t had a player in decades. It asks the question: “What would happen to a game world and its inhabitants without a player? Would they age? Would they have lives without a script to follow?”
- Your party consists of Aru (the world’s current princess), Nate (an NPC aspiring to be a hero), and Tator (the villain’s son).
- Fun, challenging, fast-paced turn-based combat with lots of unique mechanics and twists on traditional RPG battles. Examples: there is a timer that gives you a bonus when you make decisions quickly; and when you get a Critical Hit it gets stored as a resource you can use on an attack of your choosing later.
- The story, characters, world, and dialog are lighthearted, funny, and colorful.
- Takes about 12 hours to finish.
- Has a free demo that lets you play from the beginning of the game up through the first dungeon. You can also carry over your demo save data to the full game.
- Has inspiration and vibes from games like Paper Mario, Earthbound, and Undertale. It has allusions to older RPGs such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, but has its own identity and humor without relying only on parody.
