The second route of chapter five has been added to the demo!
In this update: attend the Festival of the Stars with Magreth!
Please note: Chapter five now includes the festival outings for Ruokar and Magreth only. If you choose someone other than Ruokar or Magreth to be your festival partner, or choose no one at all, the game will jump straight to the end.
Also note: I had to alter some of the startup variables, so you’ll need to begin a fresh game for the code to work properly as loading an old save will cause problems.
As always, thank you for taking the time to check it out, and happy reading!
In this update: attend the Festival of the Stars with Ruokar!
Please note: I’m doing something I haven’t done before and uploading a partially-finished chapter. Ruokar’s path in Chapter 5 is more or less complete, but it’s the only one that’s been added so far. If you choose someone other than Ruokar to be your festival partner, or choose no one at all, the game will jump straight to the end.

Your small-town farm life is suddenly and violently uprooted, but you'll have the help of a pair of orc brothers as you learn to adapt to your new life in the city. Play as a human, elf, or orc yourself in this character-focused, slice of life-esque fantasy story.
Raiders of the Caravan is a small-scale, early WIP interactive fiction project designed to help me learn about ChoiceScript. My goal is for it to be generally wholesome and uplifting in tone.
About the Game
Mostly I started making RotC because I wanted more orcs in IF games, and, really, more nice, buff orc dudes in general. I’m also personally a big fan of stories that emphasise character interaction and development over stats and action, and it’s my hope that I can combine these preferences of mine into a unique interactive experience that others might enjoy as well.
While still very early in development (about three days at the time of writing this), I'd like to share the beginning of this story that’s entirely tailored towards my interests, in case they might also be your interests!
Thank you for taking the time to check it out, and happy reading!

FAQ
Will there be explicit content?
It’s difficult to say this early on, but I don’t anticipate that RotC will contain any explicitly explicit content. At this point, I’d recommend it for ages 16+, although that may be subject to change down the line.
The game currently contains brief descriptions of violence and injury.
Are there customisable genders and/or gender-locked content?
The protagonist’s gender is not locked, and the reader can currently choose between male, female, or nonbinary for their character.
While the genders of the NPCs cannot be customised by the reader, no content (including potential future romances) will be locked based on the protagonist’s gender.
How many ROs are there? [Updated]
There are four romance options in the game: Ruokar, Magreth, Araminta, and Freja.
