The premise, in the publisher's words
In a medieval fantasy world where humans are losing a war against Orcs, the king sentences all criminals to labor in ore mines to forge weapons. To prevent escape, twelve magicians erect a magical barrier over the mining colony, but the spell goes out of control, trapping the magicians inside and allowing the convicts to overthrow their guards.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-7700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM, AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 60GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
