Crush your enemies! Exercise self care! Every step you take, every workout you finish, every ring you close feeds something on your wrist. Inner Orc turns your real-world activity into the care and feeding of your own orc companion, living right on your Apple Watch. Your orc runs on three simple systems: Energy builds passively throughout the day and surges when you close your Activity rings. Spend it to send your orc out on quests. Morale reflects how consistently you're showing up. Mindful minutes lift it, quests keep it steady, and letting too much time pass without checking in will let it slip. Quests send your orc off down a scrolling pixel-art road, walking, fighting, and coming home with rewards. The more engaged you are, the more your orc can take on. Check in throughout the day to keep your orc thriving, start quests when you've earned the energy, and watch your progress right from the watch face with a built-in complication that always shows what your orc is up to. As your orc gains experience, they can select a class and level up over time with visual evolutions at step. Reach level six to unlock exciting epic classes. No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions. Just your watch, your movement, and your orc. Inner Orc uses HealthKit data (Activity rings and Mindful Minutes) to power gameplay. Your health data stays on your device.
