Going deeper.. Orcs Up!

Orcs Up! — the RPG idle clicker incremental game for Meta Quest — has been developed by David Zobrist over the past two years as a passion project.

It combines incremental game mechanics with RPG elements, exploration, and a rich story — all in VR, using your own hands through intuitive hand tracking.

The game is planned to launch in Q3 2026, and you’ll be able to wishlist it in the coming months.

It delivers complex, intriguing gameplay mechanics powered by intuitive XR hand tracking.

You are stranded on an unknown, mysterious island and make your way deeper and deeper into it, unlocking new areas, mechanics, and challenges.

I hope you will be there with me to start this new “Orcs” adventure!

Chieftain,
Dave
