Heed the Creator by searching down the nasty heretical sects responsible for conjuring plagues and twisting the natural order of the seasons. Mixing action, expedition, and puzzle-solving, GRAVEN takes cues from classic shooters, immersive sims, and action RPGs alike. Journey across 3 expansive, open-ended regions, and search the lands to purge evil.
GRAVEN looks into a gruesome medieval world of deities and monstrosities as a disgraced Priest of the Orthogonal Order. When a heretical member of the Order sacrifices the Priests adoptive child, the Priest lethally strikes back in a bout of righteous fury.
