Travel to the harsh and atmospheric world of Risen, where every action has consequences. Learn the handling of the sword, the art of staff combat, or become a powerful mage and carve your path in a land filled with mysterious earthquakes, terrifying monsters, and unimaginable treasures.

The powerful earthquakes on the island of Faranga are a bad omen for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have been unearthed from the ground, bringing with them strange creatures that terrorize the area. Fear and panic spread throughout the population. A powerful group called "The Inquisitors" has taken it upon themselves to put an end to these events. They send an expedition to Faranga, but a terrifying storm seizes the ship and destroys it mid-sea. By a miracle, you survive the shipwreck and reach a volcanic island alone. You are trapped between a revolution, a tyrant, and mystic rituals. The outcome of fate is in your hands.
