About this game

Reynardo the Fox is a clever rogue, but he’s not as clever as he thinks. He's got himself sucked into a Rebellion against the mad Emperor, and now he’s got fateful choices to make. Should he rescue his oldest friend, the shiftless Lapino; wield a gem cursed by a dead god; or resurrect a weapon lost at the beginning of time? Worse, he’s still in love with the Emperor’s adopted daughter, who he met in sword fu school. He’s got dozens of ways to screw this up; but is can he find a way to win his war? Stories: The Path of Destinies is madcap epic fantasy where each choice you make takes you into a different story. But each story — some dark, some romantic, all action-packed — is true in its way, and will lead you to victory if you pay enough attention...

In a steampunk world of talking animals set on islands floating in the sky, Reynardo, a retired fox corsair, is drawn back into action when his hometown is destroyed by the raven armies of the tyrannical Emperor Isengrim III, who seeks lost artifacts and forbidden magic to summon the banished elder gods. Escaping aboard his airship with a mysterious book, Reynardo joins the Rebellion against the mad Emperor. The book proves to be magical, letting him glimpse where his choices might lead, so that when a path ends in disaster he can turn back and try another, piecing together the truths he needs to reach a better ending.
