Okay, so there’s this game coming out, like, super soon—on Nintendo Switch, August 7, mark the date if you’re into that. It’s called Ritual of Raven. Little side note: how cool is that name? Anyway, it’s Team17 and Spellgarden Games bringing it to you. Look, I barely get what they’re doing—fuzzy memory moment—but stay with me.
So, in this game, you grab a Book of Shadows. Not your usual read, huh? You get to play around with spells. It’s this farming sim, but quirky—cause, wait, you don’t farm yourself. I mean, isn’t farming the whole point usually? Instead, you collect these, uh… Arcana Constructs? Sounds like magic robots doing your garden chores. I’ve never wished for gardening robots, but now I kinda do.
And here’s where it gets messy—in a good way. There was supposed to be this big magic bang with portals and BAM, chaos! Sorta went wrong. You know when you drop your phone and it just misses the toilet bowl but your heart stops? Yeah, like that but magical. Some portal mishap threw you into this place, and there’s Sage. She’s like, eh, you’re the one to help her out. Her sidekick’s missing—Flufferstoop. Honestly, could they pick a better name? I like it.
Your companion is Raven—who is cheeky, apparently. Love a bit of sass. You dive deep into learning rituals and filling the Book of Shadows—sounds dramatic, right? You’re stabilizing these portals, so the village doesn’t explode or whatever.
Oh, forgot—there’s these nifty things called Arcana Constructs. Harvest lavender wrong, and poof, magic gone! But these constructs, they keep things growing, like magic gardeners on autopilot. Collect all 22. Is that a reference? I dunno, but collect ’em all.
Then there are neighbors. Talk to them if you wanna make friends. Outcasts, mostly—I bet they’ve got the juiciest backstories. And there’s more! Moon magic is a thing. Every phase changes your, uh, magical yield? So, if you’re looking up at the sky feeling philosophical, blame the game. Also, decorate stuff. Whatever—if rearranging pixels calms you, go for it.
Oh, and collections! Collect crystals, books, artifacts—my kind of hoarding. Everything adds to this chaotic charm. Maybe it’s just about fishing out of portals—not something I ever thought I’d say.
Anyway, randomness aside, if Ritual of Raven sounds like your jam, just hang tight for more info at PS4Blog.net. It’s happening soon, so, keep your eyes peeled.
And those images? Haha, just some screenshots. Look at them if a picture tells a thousand words or you’re just curious like me.
