Vogvhathos is an epic fantasy that plays most similarly to a text adventure.
You are an elf of unknown lineage living in a remote tower with your best friend, Gruzi, in the mercenary town of Kirkvir. As a mage, Gruzi was in danger of being snatched up for a forced marriage by the Council. To protect him you agreed to a false marriage, claiming you were his voifoten -- soulmate -- to any who asked.
Rejected by the city as a “dropoff” in spite of your athleticism, you spend most of your free time watching the official trainees. After sparring with the Weapon Master Lubien, he pulls you aside and admits your worst nightmare: The Council has discovered the truth about you and Gruzi.
So begins your panicked flight from the city and eventual discovery of a secret sealed deep in an ancient ruin.
Vogvhathos plays as a role-playing text game where almost every choice will affect the story in some way. Will you focus on adventuring or try to romance your companions? Do you want to explore the world freely or try to prove yourself to your city council?
Additional to the main storyline are the “Camp” screen, where you can engage in party banter, and the Descendants of Cloveia emblem, which lets you relive moments in the past to uncover its secrets.
The story has many branches as well as multiple ways the story can end. Which will you discover?
"You"
An acrobatic, elven "dropoff" who longs to leave the city and experience mercenary life. You know this to be impossible, however, as the city refuses to Sign anyone with unknown lineage. (Choose male or female)
Gruzi
Gruzi is your best friend and technically your husband, although the marriage was only to keep him safe from the Council and your relationship is purely platonic.
Vogvhathos
Discovered sealed deep in buried desert ruins, this individual claims to be a dragon. They tell you the power crystal you just absorbed is their own and that you command the majority of their power. (male or female, player choice)
Lubien
As Weapon Master of Kirkvir, Lubien holds a seat on the Council as well as trains all of the new mercenaries. Due to his high status and handsome features, he is the most sought after bachelor in the city.
Rinagi
A rogue mercenary from Kirkvir, Rinagi has an intense hatred for the city and its politics. Born and raised there, however, he still uses his trained skills for their benefit... but only as an occasional assassin when they agree to his terms.
Cloveia
An elf from a distant past, her story is an optional addition that is unlocked in segments as the story progresses. What connection does she have to current events?
