Watch a New Trailer for Stories: The Path of Destinies

Spearhead Games 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.
