A dark fantasy world with an over-abundance of three-foot-high walls has been invaded by nasty looking pseudo-orcs.

Two characters – beefcake warrior Caddoc, and lightly dressed elf E'lara – are on hand to send the orcs back to whatever (http://www.mmotank.com/) icky hole they crawled from. On first sight, it's a foreheadslapping revelation. proper, meaty combat with third-person action, in fantasy setting. It's tough keeping a secret in this industry. The porous nature of the internet and the huge pool of staff at work on one title means that details typically shrug the net of secrecy.
