Spearhead Games has released a new trailer for Stories: The Path of Destinies which demonstrates just how easily a hero’s fate can be decided by one wrong move. And make no mistake: While Stories has a fairytale-like charm, Reynardo’s not exactly in for a smooth ride. Take a look at the Narrative Trailer for Stories, launching April 12 on PlayStation 4 and PC.
Reynardo, an ex-pirate fox setting out to put an end to the war consuming the entire realm, has several different cards he can play to try to stop the mad Emperor. But with the Rebellion finished, his next moves will spell out the fate of, well, everything. Surely, he can make this work despite his abysmal track record, right?
Craft swords, upgrade your equipment, and keep an eye out for treasure as you take up arms in a beautifully illustrated action RPG reminiscent of classic choose-your-own-adventure books. If you meet with an untimely end, use Reynardo’s mysterious tome to rewind and execute a different plan, all while preserving the knowledge gained from previous storylines.
Live Reynardo’s myriad destinies, parse the narrative puzzle, and weave a story worthy of a hero.
Stories: The Path of Destinies unfolds April 12. Pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store as well as on the Humble Store, with a special 10% discount.
Stories: The Path of Destinies is provided via Steam key for Windows. For key redemption, a free Steam account is required.
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?
