Befabled | A Visual Novel Deckbuilder
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Are you... a Fabled One?"
A voice echoes in the girl's mind before she opens her eyes. She is alone in a forest. A bow and several arrows lie at her side. She shakes her head to straighten her addled thoughts, but a disorienting haze lingers in her mind. In the thick bushes not far away, something stirs...

I don't really understand how this game works... And I can't find any instructions. No description of my goal, what the cards do, and why I'm not allowed to play bullseye or why recruiting cards doesn't do anything...
I am encountering a bug on Linux, where in the starting screen there is no way to click start!
when i download the game for mac it says it needs to be updated to work with my mac.os update
Honestly a pretty cool story, fun gameplay, and solid writing/voice acting. Bugs are the only thing that get in the way of this game--there's weird lag in the dialogue advances, some duplicated character sprite glitches (which doesn't interfere with the game much, purely aesthetic), and the card part is maybe underexplained (no error messages when you fail to recruit a card, no error messages when you can't link a card). I wish it was cleaned up and ironed out a little, because i think it has a lot of potential at being a genuinely enjoyable game. Right now, though, it's a little frustrating to play.
oh yeah, also would love to see more of goldie! i'd like to learn more about her character. was she a fabled one? how did she and red meet?
This game doesn't work at all. The opening fight is impossible to get passed, makes no difference if I take the enemy down to negative health, or if I go to negative health we just keep playing cards. If I flee the game wants me to retry but even clicking retry does nothing, the only way to exit is to Alt out and close the window in the taskbar.
Hey pcoutcast,
Thank you so much for downloading and trying the game out. Really sorry for the bug that you encountered. I have released a new version that fixes that bug.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Solid art. Definitely want more art.
The card mechanics hold promise but definitely need more polish.
Cool game, a very interesting theme
Definitely a good game so far and I hope that you guys keep up the work; however there are some bugs (to be expected) where no cards at all showed up when versing Blondie. Also the where you can chose to either put the card on top of your deck or select 2 to keep until the next turn glitched out and I had to restart the chapter. Otherwise a great start.
Thanks for playing our game! The feedback means a lot. Have a great day!
