After all of these years, Vorago is still a great game -- definitely one of my all-time favorites. I hope I'll be able to play it years from now. Goodbye, Flash.

I just found this old game. I liked it. I couldn't shoot all the darn monsters in the pharmacy. I got frustrated and meant to 'find' comments relating to that in these comments. I accidentally closed my browser. LOST ALL PROGRESS. NO!

[WARNING THIS COMMENT IS SPOILER HEAVY] pt2: People generally reacted strangely to the violence (the dead man in the pharmacy?? hello???) but that didn't seem like that was the intent. Im not positive that the (many) allusions to stephan king were purposeful, but some story beats felt completely copied from his work. Despite everything I just complained about, I would love more games like this. It was gory, but i appreciated the love and hard work put in. Clearly a massive amount of thought and planning went into this and I can't fault the creators for that. Like I said, with more character development, and a sharp eye, this game really could have blown me away. In it's current state, its still great, but leaves a lot to be desired.

[WARNING THIS COMMENT IS SPOILER HEAVY] This game is excellently edgy and fun. The art made the point and click aspect difficult. Im generally really good at escape games but this one, despite how good it can look, made pixel hunting necessary. Most of the mini games were pointless and frustrating (controls were slow, the shotgun made most of the fps aspect really slow but somehow easy) and some puzzles had answers that didn't really seem obvious unless you had a walkthrough. The ending was also a problem. I know the point is that it is dark, but it was dark needlessly. We never even see Amy after Ira shoots Jonathan and that isnt the best way to leave a character, let alone a character we're supposed to hope survives. We just dont know. Tark could have used more development (and backstory) and having him interact more with Ira in the pharmacy would have been welcome.

OH MY FUKING GOD, 5/5! How the hell didn't this game become a classic?! I mean, kick-ass animation, incredible storyline, VOICE ACTING? Come on, Greg! Why don't you put a badge on that game? Damn, every single moment of this game is crucial to everything related to it! It's really a fuking underrated game and most of all, 5/5.

Sensitivity for clicking objects was wonky, direction wasn't clear; when your hitboxes are off and you have multiple minigames where I have to rely on them, the game stops being fun and gets so frustrating everything else fades to the background. The explanation for the creatures' appearance was thrown in at the last second, it would have been better to leave it ambiguous in my opinion.
The voice acting was well done though. When it wasn't overlapping. Not all of it was captioned either.
I would have liked to have more control over the ending, without spoiling anything there were some instances where I would have really liked to have been given a choice.

OK, that's it. I give up. I FINALLY got the walkie talkie and the screen froze. Or rather, the hand with the walkie talkie froze and now I can't do anything. Sadly tedious game anyway. Has potential, but needs a lot of work. Further, the walkthrough is broken. I've wasted HOURS trying to get through this game and to have it freeze now? No way am I starting over!

One thing so infuriating that I cannot give it anything resembling a decent score:
Literally 100% impossible unless you have insanely quick reaction speed. Point and click games *are not* reaction games. There is a reason I'm not playing a reaction game.

But since no-one knows the person who wrote it, personally, and can ask them, that's up for debate. All of our guesses are equally as educated. (unless you haven't read it, i suppose.)

All the work which was put into this game barely outweighs the stupidity of the minigames, which made me give Vorango a 3/5 instead of giving it a 5/5 note and including it into my favourite games collection.

Amazing artwork, voice acting and story line. After all that I still only gave you 2 stars. The mini games in my opinion take away from the game, and an option to skip them after trying several times was not given. (second try at this game, and after an hour of trying to kill the creatures at the pharmacy, I give up and won't try again) I did think the voice acting incredible (the bickering between the husband and wife right on the mark) .... I prefer the option to play without sound and this wasn't an option either.

To be honest, I didn't think much of this game. I will admit that the unexpected plot turns and the overall artwork were good, yet I felt that the game itself was based upon misunderstanding.
The book that was the reference for this is called the book of Revelation, not revelations. In addition to that, the events described are from a period of time, which is actually close at hand, called the Great Tribulation. This period of time is explicitly described as the worst time in human history.
Along with that, the strange beings aren't literal beings. They are symbolic of something else. As a matter of fact, I saw a video that explain a theory that the locusts are actually helicopters, since the writer of Revelation lived almost 2000 years ago and would have had no idea how to describe modern machinery.

Oh and I really expected that something would be made of Seth's eyes glowing yellow, just like the monsters'. If it's nothing then you should change the visual effect. Also, why didn't Jonathan just commit suicide instead of making Ira do it? The guy in the office did.

Really good atmosphere, good art, good characters, and decent story. It's not totally original, but it's a good adaptation. The minigames were very out of place though. Worst is the shooting section. You give me a two shot shotgun then put 4-6 enemies coming at me at once. They fly off screen and the only chance to hit multiples is right before I get hit. Then it seemed like I had to shoot a particular part of the split zombie. So was Seth right that it was the end times, or was he just crazy? The flashback was really sad, particularly the frame of the little girl smiling as she tossed the ball in the air. She looked adorable and I knew what was coming even before the next frame.

Artwork and voices are good. Story, well... chaotic? Seems to me as if someone had a great concept with many possibilities at the beginning and then gave up. I mean, daughters death? Crazy maniac? Dark path in the woods? Mysterious Eggs? It might heve been such an amazing story with some awesome plot twist and instead we get this. So unambitious. And these irritating minigames? I personally play such games to enjoy the story not to scream in anger and frustration because some damn toy car exploded again.

I'm surprised this isn't higher rated. Along with some awesome gameplay the storyline was really moving. I LOVE THIS GAME

Most stupid things in the game (although I find it awesome,there are some things that make me rage):1) there are no saves,so if I quit the game,I gotta start from the beginning.2)Sometimes,if I miss an item(ESPECIALLY THE SUPER SMALL ONES!),I might get in a situation that I cannot escape and I gotta restart to the beginning,search for HOURS to get it and get to the point I was stuck(AND I MEAN THE POINT WHEN YOU PLAY AS THE LITTLE GIRL TO FREE IRA AND YOU DID NOT FIND THE DAMN FAIR PIN AND GOTTA RESTART THE WHOLE DAMN GAME TO FIND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hey who is the voice actor for the husband? Isn't the voice actor Mark Crilley (awesome artist who teaches how to draw on youtube) or is it a different person?

This game is brutal, in the best of the ways. I'm sure there is some influence from The Mist, whether it's intentional or not. thought it seems to really lean towards the religious/apocalyptical explanation. It's good anyway. The "shotgun stravaganzza" kinda drove me crazy, but I couldn't stop playing and the story and the details really deserve it. Awesome atmosphere.

What was the point of shooting him in the head at the end? That one guy shot himself in the head with a shotgun and the other was split halfway through and they were both still alive alive.

5/5 for the game, although it's just a copy from King's "The Mist" with an open-end. Hm, yeah, I would've liked a lil bit more of your own inspiration, but, honestly: For a clone, it's 5/5.

The whole premise of this game reminds me of "The Mist" by Stephen King, except with some God stuff thrown in. Pretty fun game, although if there's a message, I'm not entirely sure what it's saying. 5/5 stars

Brilliant game! However I'm stuck. After I've played the tape and asked Amy about Seth, I can't progress - the walkthrough says I gotta ask her twice but I don't get that dialogue option anymore.

Apparently, I asked around about the first aid kit before I was supposed to, and got awfully stuck. Had to look up the walkthrough and restart, though I did absolutely everything else correctly. Silly me, I should have realized that letting my klepto- and pyro-mania run wild in this little convenience store was clearly of higher priority than asking around about the first aid kit my husband clearly needs.
