Evaluation

GRAVEN launched out of Early Access on January 23, 2024, marking its 1.0 release with two brand-new world zones and a substantial volume of new content. The developer posted a launch-day update confirming the full release and immediately followed up with a post-launch patch on January 25, 2024, stating they were continuing to work on fixes and improvements. A second bug-fix patch landed on April 10, 2024, addressing lingering issues reported by the community. Since that April 2024 patch, there have been no further developer communications about new content, patches, or ongoing development — the most recent news post (July 24, 2025) was a Steam sale promotion, not a content or development update. All DLC on the store (a Soundtrack and Digital Artbook) were released on launch day and represent cosmetic/supplementary items rather than game content expansions. No unreleased DLC is listed, no roadmap for post-launch content was ever published, and the developer has not announced any expansions or additional content since launch. The January 25, 2024 post mentioned working on "more substantial improvements," but the April 10, 2024 patch appears to have fulfilled that commitment, and no further development communications have followed in the 14+ months since. The game launched as a complete narrative experience, and the post-launch activity was limited to polish and bug fixes rather than content expansion. GRAVEN appears to be a finished, self-contained product.

About this game

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 a cryptic warning, along with a mysterious staff and book. Go forth, pious priest, alleviate suffering, uncover deceptions, and smash the eldritch perversions encroaching upon reality itself.

Perhaps you will even earn your peace.

A marriage between modern development tools and techniques with a stark late 90s aesthetic brings the first person action-adventure 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.

  • Spread fires, charge machinery, reveal hidden paths, and freeze rivers to walk across.

  • 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 and what powers they hide.

  • Slay over twenty distinct enemies and three bosses in an ever broadening world across multiple biomes.

  • Band together with up to 7 friends in hectic cooperative play.

  • Walk the parallel path, lest you stumble into the recesses of the world and reality becomes only a bitter plaything.
