Set across 1960’s Europe, The Raven combines the thrill of the chase ‘whodunit’ with the risk and reward of a heist story where players get to experience both sides of the story as the investigator and the thief. Paying tribute to Agatha Christie’s crime stories and gangster movies from the 60s and 70s, The Raven is set to be a thrilling episodic journey.
Martin Kreuch, Producer at Nordic Games said:
“The reaction to The Raven so far has been extremely positive so we’re excited to finally get the game out to the community. The episodic format should create an immersive experience that allows players to experience cliff hangers like you would when watching a TV series, which is rarely seen in video games. KING Art has done a tremendous job adding those moments and we’re keen to see how the community reacts to it.”
Jan Theysen, Creative Director at KING Art, added:
“Over the past 2 years we’ve worked tirelessly to produce a game of genuine quality that not only comes up with an incredibly dense atmosphere and a truly enthralling soundtrack but also provides a rich story full of twists that will leave players with their eyes and mouth open. We’re extremely proud of the game and a lot of work has gone into enticing people back to the adventure genre and the story has been key factor in making this happen.”
The daring hunt across Europe is a story that features more camera shots and character animation than all of KING Art’s previous point and click adventures put together. Journeying through thrilling and dense atmospheres with the aim of catching the thief players will follow his trademark black feather clues to capture him and protect the legendary sapphire, the “Eye of the Sphinx”.
