It's been quite some time since GRAVEN was released on Early Access. For those who long been supporting the game, they're in for a treat as version 1.0 is coming out on January 23. It's going to be available on various platforms that include Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
Fight the Horrors
The game puts players in the role of a priest of the Orthogonal order. Despite being faithful to the case, the priest has been exiled unto death for a crime which was in defense of another. For some reason, it seems that you're alive once again but in a small boat that's adrift in a swamp. A stranger sends to you to solid and gives you what are clearly vague instructions along with a book and mysterious staff. You've decided that it's time once again to be a priest and alleviate suffering while also uncover deceptions. Of course, it's also important to destroy whatever eldritch perversions that's encroaching upon reality itself.
Cool Features
GRAVEN features modern development tools and techniques and combines it with that late 90s aesthetic, which brings the game to life. Helping make the dark and unique medieval fantasy experience are the character design by Chuck Jones (Duke Nukem 3d, Half-Life) and the voice talent of Stephan Weyte (Blood, Fire Emblem, Dusk).
In terms of the game itself, features include:
- Solve puzzles and scour lore to uncover the motives of the foul heretical sects behind the plagues and seasons undermining the land.
- Alter your environment with all that surrounds you, wielding spells and crystals to adjust as you see fit in your pursuit.
- Discover new weapons and upgrade them at blacksmiths and alchemists to customize your capability.
- Expand your horizons by returning to old stomping grounds with new abilities and seeing how far down the chasms go.
- Slay over thirty distinct enemies in an ever broadening world across numerous biomes.
- Walk the parallel path, lest you stumble into the recesses of the world, where the fog knows no light, and creatures beyond time roam free.
- Earn your peace.
