Folk Tale is a sandbox fantasy city builder strategy video game developed and published by Games Foundry. The game is currently, as of November 2015, still in development, though available through early access. Since then the developers changed the aim of the game as a scripted mission-based game to a sandbox game. The developer posts a monthly blog detailing the progress of the game, which after more than two years in development still only offers about one hour of gameplay.
Folk Tale is an album by Irish folk singer Christy Moore, released in 2011 by Sony Music.
