In The Rise of Vruk, you step into the shoes of Vruk, a resilient goblin whose entire clan has been wiped out by marauding orcs. Determined to reclaim his lost people, Vruk embarks on a dark quest for vengeance. But his path to retribution is not one of simple battle and might. To rebuild his clan, he must use cunning and corruption, transforming human women into tools of his twisted ambitions. As you guide Vruk through this perilous journey, you’ll face moral dilemmas and dangerous decisions. Should you follow your thirst for power, or can you find a way to restore your people without losing your humanity? The game challenges you to navigate a world of corruption, manipulation, and dark magic, where every choice leaves a mark on Vruk's future—and the world around him.
