If you held a magic artifact that could turn back time, would you live any differently? Would you charge recklessly toward danger and romance with hardly a second thought? Would you tread carefully amongst your fates and craft the tale of a lifetime?
In Stories, the hero Reynardo stands as the last hope to a world-consuming war. Armed with the power to travel back in time, he explores several ways to take down the Mad Emperor, but it seems the enemy always has the upper hand. Making judicious use of his enchanted tome, Reynardo must gather knowledge about the world, its inhabitants, and its treasures if he is to confront the Emperor and live to tell the tale.
Discover the land of Boreas, forge and upgrade magical swords, and defeat the Emperor’s minions using Reynardo’s stylish and fast-paced battle style―all while navigating the hero’s destinies in a narrative reminiscent of classic choose-your-own-adventure books. Can you find a path that will lead Reynardo to victory?
Stories: The Path of Destinies releases today on Steam – Windows PC, GOG – Windows PC, and PlayStation 4.
About This Game
Stories: The Path of Destinies is an action-RPG set in a vibrant fairytale universe filled with floating islands, majestic airships, and colorful magic. Reynardo, ex-pirate and unintentional hero, suddenly becomes the last line of the defense against the mad Emperor and his countless ravens. Can he come up with a plan that won’t blow up in his face, for a change?
In Stories, each choice you make takes Reynardo into a unique narrative. From tongue-in-cheek takes on heroic adventures to dark, Lovecraftian scenes, Stories’ repertoire is as diverse as it is action-packed. But Reynardo’s fateful decisions won’t always come easy: Sometimes retrieving a weapon lost at the beginning of time means sacrificing the life of an old friend. But with so many choices to make, so many potential dire destinies, wouldn’t it be great to be able to come back in time, learn from your mistakes and find the one true path?
