Folk Tale is a sandbox fantasy city builder strategy game in which you lead a ragtag band of peasants in growing a small settlement into a thriving market town, while the dastardly Slavemaster Urzal and his minions plot your downfall. Sound the rallying call and head out into the wilds with parties of heroes and fight back the tide of evil in a game of endless possibilities.

Rule with tyranny and oppression, or liberalism and justice. Play as a merciless expansionist hell-bent on destruction, or as a gold-hoarding mercantilist who'll sell their own grandmother. With random events and dynamic story, in Folk Tale you never know how the story will unfold.

Folk Tale
 for PC, Mac and Linux is developed by indie collaboration studio Games Foundry. Our small team spans 13 time zones and is yet to meet face to face, but talk every day to bring you a refreshing and exciting break from conventional gaming.

Folk Tale Alpha will be available on Steam Early Access on May 31st ( May 30th in the USA ). Please visit Store.steampowered.com for more information on Early Access.

This looks great! Visually it reminds me of a much more fleshed-out hybrid of Black & White 2 and Fable. Love how the game won't take itself too seriously. :) Looking forward to trying it.

@MrSweetchilly We'd love you too. To help, please read T.co for info on how to do it legitimately.

@d10sfan How long depends on what wider testing throws up. We'll keep the community posted on Linux progress through T.co

May 20 2013, 6:37pm

@d10sfan Alas not, broader testing and a few code tweaks required. One of the top priorities though immediately after launch day.

May 20 2013, 7:28am

@SomeIndieGames Praying that turns out to be true!
