Official Description (Ad Blurb)


A faithful priest of the Orthogonal order, exiled unto death for a crime in defense of another, you live again in a small boat, adrift in a swamp. A stranger ferries you to solid ground and bestows upon you vague instructions, along with a mysterious staff and book. Go forth, pious priest, alleviate suffering, uncover deceptions, and smash the eldritch perversions encroaching upon reality itself.

A marriage between modern development tools and techniques with a stark late 90s aesthetic bring the action first person puzzler GRAVEN to life, featuring character designs by Chuck Jones (Duke Nukem 3d, Half-Life) and the voice talent of Stephan Weyte (Blood, Fire Emblem, Dusk) in a dark yet distinct medieval fantasy experience.

  • 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.

Had high hopes

The Good
The world, most of the game play is fun, the puzzle and cryptic aspect of the game i love.

The Bad
Save system... There's times i can only play for 25 - 30 and the way the save system works is you start back at a hub instead of where you left off. I just can't wrap my head around this game design decision? No map.. A game like this NEEDS a map at least for me because my memory is terrible. Stamina bar, again i don't understand the decision to have a stamina bar in a game like this? how many games actually have good use of a stamina bar?

The Bottom Line
Really had high hopes for this since i saw the game in early access. Sooo Disappointed.
