The Harrowed

The Harrowed is a story-driven RPG set in Ulm, a world ravaged by magic. Three hundred years after the cataclysmic Harrowing, dark forces threaten the backwater logging village of Elkshire. You guide six outsiders as they try to protect its survivors and uncover the mystery behind the forces assaulting Ulm.

The party

Orena, a young nun of the Grand Church of the Allmother, is tasked by the Clerics with hunting a renegade mage accused of murder. Sergeant Clive Beckett, a gruff career soldier haunted by past deeds, escorts her alongside Hargon Buckfield, a snarky footsoldier. Farryn Greatstalker, a pragmatic Half-Elven scout, joins them to lead the party through the dreaded Wightwood. The others are Vlastok, a pensive tribesman from the northern plains, and Suntori, one of the few remaining Elves on Ulm.

The party faces distrustful survivors, shape-shifting fiends and arcane dangers. Rumors of witch's magic, vengeful spirits and man-eating Worgen haunt Elkshire.

Combat and exploration

You fight vicious enemies using a battle system that combines ability cooldowns with spell mana, and draw on the abilities and strengths of all six heroes. Enemies appear on the map, so there are no random battles and you can choose which fights to take.

Shards and artwork

You collect Harrowed Shards to craft powerful Shardborne Artifacts. Original pixel art depicts Ulm's creatures and heroes. The story takes about 4–6 hours.
