GRAVEN Gameplay
GRAVEN Gameplay Trailer
GRAVEN is a first-person shooter set in a high fantasy medieval world. Use different melee and ranged weapons to fight against the different mobs that get in your way, or use devastating magic against the more powerful foes that will stand against you. GRAVEN features multiple biomes for players to explore, rife with environmental puzzles for you to solve with wits and magic.
GRAVEN offers players different ways to solve their problems. From upgrading their weapons, unlocking new ones, or customizing them through alchemy for new effects. Use whatever you have in your arsenal to solve the countless environmental puzzles that keep you from progressing, or stray from the usual path to carve your own adventure.
Fans of old-school first-person shooters like HEXEN and Duke Nukem will enjoy a very familiar feel in this modernistic take on a classic 90s experience. Get nostalgic with the game’s pixel graphics and appreciate how modern development tools are integrated into the game.
GRAVEN’s full version 1.0 release comes with language support for English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, and releases with 13 new weapons and tools, 9 new enemies, and new unique boss fights and hub locations.
GRAVEN Story
GRAVEN Early Access Launch Trailer
In GRAVEN, you play as a wrongly accused man of faith, condemned for a sin you’re not guilty of. As a faithful priest of the Orthogonal order, you are exiled and left for dead for a crime you did in defense of another. On your way, you are ferried by a stranger on a small boat, adrift in the swamp. The ferryman gives you vague instructions, a mysterious staff, and a book. With these vague instructions, you are asked to go forth to alleviate suffering, uncover deceptions, unravel mysteries, and smash eldritch perversions encroaching upon reality itself, and maybe, just maybe, you can repent and find retribution in this squalid world.
