Chort

About this game

CHORT. Abandoned. Betrayed. Deceived.

Once feared, now broken, Chort is cast down and left with nothing but hatred and lust for power burning in his chest. Defeated by a whispering witch, he is torn from his dominion and forced back into the world of the living. But death does not end his story. Driven by vengeance and obsession, Chort rises again to follow the trail of the one bound to him by fate — the girl who was meant to be his. Step by step, through dark lands and forgotten paths, he hunts her shadow, slowly reclaiming fragments of his lost power. Hatred guides him. Desire fuels him. And with every step closer to his chosen one, his true nature begins to awaken once more.

A world struggling for identity in the wake of absent gods.

A world filled with mysticism, magic and taboo, where no deed goes without a ripple in the fabric of reality.

A world of magical barter between humans and creatures dwelling in the wild.

A world in which humanity is merely a barely tolerated guest.
