Vagrus - The Riven Realms is an award-winning, hard-edged roleplaying game that blends open-world exploration, rich narrative and strategic caravan management. You step into the boots of a vagrus, a caravan leader eking out a living in a bleak, post-apocalyptic fantasy wasteland scarred by divine cataclysm. Every choice matters as you navigate strange locations, twisted monsters and the ever-present threat of undead.

The free Prologue demo-about 3-5 hours of play-offers two slices of the full experience: "Pilgrims of the Wasteland," a self-contained tutorial story, and a taste of the open-world campaign complete with character creation and the first 25 turns of sandbox travel. This is no easy ride; you’ll want to master the systems before committing to long treks across the map.

Narrative and events are at the heart of Vagrus. You pick a background (trader, mercenary or explorer), pursue rumors, strike deals for valuable cargo or choose to plunder it instead. Your decisions affect not only your own fate but also the personalities and loyalties of the companions who join your caravan. Every encounter branches into new opportunities-or new dangers.

When diplomacy fails, you’ll fight in turn-based, tactical battles that reward careful positioning, support skills and clever use of both leader abilities and your companions’ unique talents. Outside of combat, you must plan journeys with precision: manage supplies, crew morale and vigor, assign roles to scouts, guards, workers and even slaves, then push on to deliver or acquire goods before supplies run out.

Companions are more than mere statistics. Each comes with a backstory and personal quest line that can boost their abilities when you complete it. Factions-trading houses, religious orders, criminal syndicates and more-offer powerful rewards for loyalty, but allying with one often turns others against you. Navigating these shifting alliances is key to rising in fame and influence.

For anyone ready to face a challenging, choice-driven RPG wrapped in strategic caravan travel, Vagrus - The Riven Realms is available to download now. If you love deep stories, tough decisions and detailed resource management, give the free Prologue a try before you buy.
