Familiar Tales

Sinister forces have cast down the royal family of a far-off kingdom, and now the future of the royal line rests entirely upon a wee infant. Her only protectors are a band of wizard’s familiars who have disappeared into the wilderness with their young charge. A sorcerous usurper’s foul hand stretches wide across the land — how can simple familiars save a child from such evil?

Familiar Tales is an exciting narrative game where players take on the roles of a wizard’s familiars, entrusted with saving and raising a displaced princess. They must keep her safe from the evil forces that would see her dead, but when it comes to children, it is not enough to merely survive! The familiars know that every choice they make will affect the young one in their care. If they are victorious and the throne is reclaimed, what kind of woman will sit upon it? Players will explore a massive world through the pages of a fantastical story book, filled with branching paths and memorable characters. Fight off enemies and explore the many nooks and crannies of an enchanted world. Experience a professionally narrated, fully scored, decade-spanning fantasy epic.

Easily downloadable for both Mac and Windows, this browser-based app is required to play Familiar Tales. Think of it as an automated game master and storyteller! The app also features a digital, searchable rulebook. An innovative card play system allows players to level up their familiars by building and customizing their skill decks. Players will use their skill cards to perform all manner of exciting actions throughout their campaign. Collect resources on your travels to craft powerful items, weapons and armor. Familiars will need to use these resources to care for the child and make sure the wee babe is content, or else something… strange… may happen.
