NOTES

* VARG IS A WORK OF FICTION. The locations, people, events, institutions and religious beliefs depicted in the game are entirely fictional. Any similarities to actual places, events or people (human or not) are purely coincidental. The game is not intended to accurately portray reality, and is not a documentary, a reenactment, or a conspiracy theory investigation of any kind. It is also very importantly NOT a endorsement of violence towards any actual, real-world religious beliefs or institutions. If you struggle to separate fiction from reality, we ask you to please refrain from playing this game.† PLANNED FEATURES ACCURACY.

All features, release dates and platforms are subject to change, and should be considered as aspirational goals rather than set-in-stone promises.‡ SCREEN SHOTS.
