Gothic is an action RPG set in the medieval fantasy Kingdom of Myrtana. Following an Orcish invasion, anyone found breaking the law is sent to the giant penal colony of Khorinis to mine the much-needed ore for the war effort. However, the erection of a magical barrier to prevent escape goes wrong, trapping everyone inside as the prisoners rebel, turning the colony into a lawless territory as players control a newly-arrived prisoner. The original game spawned two official follow-ups, as well as the Arcania spin-off that was originally titled Arcania: Gothic 4.
