Pixel Maniacs, the creative minds behind the Chromagun series, have unveiled their latest project, Fables of Dwale. This upcoming adventure game invites players to immerse themselves in a world that unfolds after the final page of fairy tales is turned. Set to launch on PC via Steam, the game is currently in search of a publisher, with a release date yet to be determined.
According to the game’s Steam page, Fables of Dwale explores the intriguing question: what happens after every fairy tale reaches its conclusion? A shadow has descended upon the enchanted lands, leaving its inhabitants frail and ailing. Players will step into the shoes of Red Riding Hood, embarking on a quest to forage for fruits and fungi, engage in barter with fabled characters, and ultimately seek a remedy for the mysterious affliction known as the Dwale. However, caution is advised as night falls; players must choose between resting until dawn or venturing into the dark to uncover the secrets that lurk within.
Key Features
- Explore the Lands and Meet Legendary Characters – Traverse diverse biomes, from the ailing town of Dawnhollow nestled in the Enchanted Forest to the toxic swamps of Murkmire and the icy expanses of the Nanuk Mountains. Each area is rich with its own myths, perilous quests, and memorable characters.
- Manage your Basket – Players must carefully organize their inventory, stacking heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top to avoid damage. A well-managed basket can be the difference between success and failure on the journey.
- Survive the Dark – As night descends, the lantern becomes a crucial lifeline. Players must navigate the dangers of the dark, where creatures lurk, eager to extinguish the light.
- Find the Cure – A dark plague threatens the land, and the enigmatic Lantern King claims to be crafting a cure. Players must decide whether to trust his intentions or question the motives behind his actions.
