Obarg

Enter the Aul

Obarg is a grounded dark fantasy action RPG inspired by the mountains, stone villages, towers, folklore, clothing, and atmosphere of the Caucasus, especially Chechen and Vainakh culture.

Set in a harsh mountain land of fog, blood, old customs, and broken villages, the game follows a warrior who rises to unite the people and defend his land. The world is not built around magic or demons, but around steel, survival, fear, loyalty, betrayal, and the weight of difficult choices.

A Grounded Dark Fantasy World

The setting of Obarg is shaped by narrow mountain paths, ancient towers, cold stone houses, quiet forests, ruined settlements, and villages divided by pride, fear, and old wounds.

Each region is planned to reflect a different side of this world: isolated mountain villages, fortified smithing settlements, dangerous roads, caves, towers, and enemy-controlled lands. The goal is to create a world that feels old, heavy, authentic, and dangerous without relying on generic fantasy tropes.

PSX / PS2 Era Inspired Style

Obarg uses a retro low-poly visual style inspired by late PSX and early PS2 era games. Expect sharp silhouettes, low-resolution textures, heavy atmosphere, fog, dark colors, and a rough, nostalgic look.

The art direction is intentionally not clean or modern. It is meant to feel raw, distant, mysterious, and slightly uncomfortable, like an old forgotten game from another era.

Gameplay Direction

The game is being developed as a souls-like action RPG with careful melee combat, exploration, dangerous enemies, rest points, bosses, equipment progression, and a dark interconnected world.

The combat direction focuses on weight, timing, blocking, dodging, stamina management, and learning enemy behavior. The goal is not fast arcade action, but tense and deliberate survival.

Current Development Status

Obarg is currently in active development. Many systems, visuals, animations, areas, enemies, and gameplay features are still unfinished and may change over time.

This page will be updated as the project grows. Screenshots, videos, builds, devlogs, and gameplay details may not represent the final version of the game.
