Fables is a metroidvania game concept inspired by Medieval manuscripts & fantastical fairytales. The player takes on the role of the brave but tiny Unicorn Princess who has escaped her tower to hunt down her father, the Corrupted King. She does this with the help of her dragon pet, who's able to transform into a bigger being by collecting coins and filling the "Dragon's Hoard". During the Princess' journey she comes across a plethora of fable inspired animals who try to stop her from overthrowing the king.

The game features an illustration-heavy and maximalistic artstyle inspired by famous Medieval art like the Aberdeen Bestiary & the Book of Kells. Throw in a factor of extra whimsy & magic, and you get Fables! It's aimed at young-adult audiences and up, exploring topics of abandonement, royal feuds and gore.
