Developed by Hosted Games and penned by James Isaac, this title eschews graphics and sound for the boundless power of imagination, offering a staggering 1.5 million words of narrative.

Players will navigate a world where orcs are scorned as 'stupid brutes' and 'culturally stunted barbarians,' aiming to unify the clans and lead them against their oppressors. The journey begins on the baked, dusty plains, a stark contrast to the world of decline the orcs inhabit.
