Arisen

Arisen is a story-driven game set in the world of Var'Nagal. Torn from your peaceful life by foreign soldiers, you are chained aboard a warship with human and elven prisoners, then sold into slavery on the island of Maccialatt. You set out to win your freedom, relying on your willpower, adaptability or physical strength.

Choices and emotions

Your emotions are represented by tarot cards. You use them to make choices that affect the world around you, shape your story and unlock new cards. The choices explore values and ethics, and draw on five emotions: Fear, Sorrow, Disgust, Anger and Joy. The story contains 360,000 words, with several paths and multiple plot twists to unlock.

People and relationships

Along the way, you meet people of different races, ages and genders whose lives you may be able to change. The game has six main characters, each with their own quests and development. You can form five types of relationship with them: Lover, Friend, Neutral, Enemy or Nemesis.

The world of Var'Nagal

Var'Nagal is a world built to develop across several games, with species including elves, lizardmen, gnomes and shapeshifters. More than a hundred illustrations present the realm in a style close to Franco-Belgian comics. An original soundtrack features more than thirty pieces composed by Yann "Kayji" Rayon.
