About the Game

Play as lumberjack Bart Waffles and journey to the god Vulcan to request his aid in stopping the volcano Melboreth from destroying Anvil.

A new myth is born

Vulcan Sacrifice presents a new myth on an old god. A volcano awakens and threatens the town of Anvil. The eruption is imminent. The town elders call upon Bart Waffles, a local lumberjack, to travel into the skeleton filled mountains to find Vulcan, the Roman god of forges & volcanoes and the only being powerful enough to stop the volcano. But the cost is great. Bart must sacrifice much to secure the safety of his home, and what's worse, the volcano continues to rumble.

The story will take Bart through many perils toward his destiny, which more and more looks as doomed as his humble mountain home.
