The Warriorlock (itch)

There's only one way in, and one way out. Can you survive Carrion Road? 

Escape into a far-out fantasy adventure as a young and talented warriorlock, whose next mission will bring him to battle his own demons in this stellar, story-driven romp with heroic and hopelessly flawed characters steeped in a twisted tale of mind over madness. 

The Warriorlock™ is a story-driven dramedy adventure RPG that will take you on an escapism fantasy quest–beyond the mind's eye of a young man trapped in crisis–into the wilds of a dangerous and enchanted realm, where empowered with might, magic and perhaps a few good companions, he may find the strength and courage to battle the darkness within.  

Featuring a glorious synthesis of core RPG mechanics, and a visual story presentation teeming with memorable characters, mystery, magic, monsters, merriment and mayhem, this is one tall tale that just must be told.
