About The Harrowed
Explore the dying world of Ulm in The Harrowed, a new story-driven RPG from Salmon Raws, LLC. In a land torn asunder by magic, six adventurers find themselves embroiled in the endless dance of order and chaos. The backwater village of Elkshire is beset by dark forces from all sides. 300 years after the cataclysmic Harrowing ravaged Ulm, rumors of witch's magic, vengeful spirits, and man-eating Worgen haunt this quaint logging town. Six outsiders find the survival of this community thrust upon their shoulders. It is up to you to guide these heroes as they strive to overcome the arcane horrors lurking in every shadow.
Characters
The party is led by Orena, a young nun of the Grand Church of the Allmother. Raised among other orphans by the Church, she has been tasked by the Clerics to hunt a renegade mage accused of murder. She is escorted by Sergeant Clive Beckett, a gruff career military man unable to escape past deeds, and Hargon Buckfield, the snarky footsoldier.
Along their journey, they are joined by Farryn Greatstalker, a pragmatic Half-Elven scout contracted to lead them through the dreaded Wightwood. The party is rounded out by Vlastok the pensive tribesman from the northern plains, and Suntori, one of the few remaining Elves left alive on Ulm.
With distrustful survivors, shape-shifting fiends, and arcane mischief around every shadowy corner, will you live to see another dawn in this Harrowed World?
- Experience a 4-6 hour story-driven RPG exploring the arcane-ravaged world of Ulm.

I've been really enjoying The Harrowed so far. It's a super classic RPG with a really interesting world and very compelling characters. A couple of things that really stand out to me are the music - they've done a great job building the right atmosphere for the different areas you explore and the character building. You really get to know the characters - I'm partial to Vlastok myself. Another thing that I really appreciate about this game is it moves along at a nice steady clip. It doesn't belabor any areas or make you feel like you're slugging through to the next encounter or plot bit. Definitely recommend it to others.6 found this helpful
The Harrowed is a fairly well put together game in the old school RPG genre. The most succinct way of describing the experience is "short and sweet". I completed essentially everything I wanted to in approximately 5 hours, which is about the same for everyone else, but at the price point I would say that it is well worth it. The absolute strongest point in the game's favor is the world building and lore. I'm always on the lookout for new IP, and this game is refreshing in how they tackle traditional fantasy tropes. 8/10, would definitely recommend.2 found this helpful
A well paced old-school RPG with a compelling story. Well worth the price and well worth your time. If you enjoyed games like chrono trigger or golden sun you will enjoy this game.2 found this helpful
Good characters and fun adventure in a SNES-style RPG. Simple graphics, but a compelling story. 🐙2 found this helpful
Really fun little game! Not a difficult at all so if you're looking for a chill game with a cool story this is worth the play.1 found this helpful
I was immediately struck by the good world and character building. It seems to have a lot of custom art. The character portraits could do with some improvement, it's painfully obvious that the nun and the half-elf are edits of the same base. Change the shadows and those ugly lips, or something. Anyway, still seems like a good game.
