Those involved each lost something most precious to them and the portals became unstable, randomly spitting out new arrivals into the world.

    After falling through one of these mysterious portals yourself, you encounter the local witch Sage, who decides you’re the best person to help her in her quest. Taken under her wing as an apprentice, you’ll be able to help search for her missing Familiar, Flufferstoop.

    Ritual of Raven is a cozy, story-based farming sim - but you don’t do the farming yourself! Instead you collect and enchant Arcana Constructs to grow your magical herb garden.

    Ritual of Raven is a story-driven life sim with rich character development and constant tasks through quests and rituals. While much of the gameplay is familiar, it introduces a unique card-based machine programming system and deeper plant care tied to moon phases. The game features a detailed 2D pixel art style that supports its immersive world. Though there are minor flaws, like a bothersome alien character and expansive decoration, the story is what truly stands out.

    In moments where you can dive into the mechanics on offer, Ritual of Raven really shines. Tinkering with the automations is fun and rewarding, providing a fresh spin on a well-worn genre. But the game doesn’t encourage these moments, instead pulling you through a narrative in a world that doesn’t feel fully realised. There are some excellent ideas here, but they don’t form a compelling whole.
