Orphan is an adult Dark Fantasy CYOA set in a dying neo-Rome ruined by Sorcery, ruled by the Blade. Immerse yourself in an unforgiving world, full of violence, magic, sex and intrigue. Life in the Cradle is short, brutish and crude. Ruined nobles struggle for power amongst the shadows of a crumbling city-state teeming with sorcery, rampant slavery and corruption. And you… you’re just a nobody. For now.
