About Gothic

Gothic is set in the Colony, a penal colony on the island of Khorinis, where convicts mine ore for the kingdom of Myrtana. The kingdom needs the ore to forge weapons against invading orcs, and those who break the law are sent to the mines.

The Colony

A magical barrier, a sphere two kilometers in diameter, seals the Colony off from the outside world. People can pass through it from outside, but no one inside can escape. The prisoners revolt and split into three rival factions, forcing the king to negotiate for the ore rather than simply demand it.

Survive and escape

You are thrown through the barrier and must survive in the prison, forming volatile alliances until you can escape. The world is inhabited by people who work, sleep, eat and fight to survive.

Weapons and spells

You can choose from a large variety of weapons and spells for your character. The game offers over 50 hours of gameplay.

Gothic is an action role-playing game set in a third-person perspective within a fantasy open world. The player controls an unnamed prisoner sent into a mining colony enclosed by a magical barrier. Gameplay emphasizes exploration without quest markers or a guided map, and the player character begins with no skills, learning them by finding teachers and spending earned skill points. The game features three factions to join, each offering different paths and abilities: the Old Camp provides access to Fire Mages, the New Camp to Water Mages, and the Brotherhood to early magic through worship of a being called the Sleeper. Combat involves melee weapons, ranged weapons, and magic across six circles of increasing power. The environment is highly interactive, allowing the player to cook food, forge weapons, and perform many activities seen in NPC routines.
