Ritual of Raven Set for Release Next Week

Wait, hold on a sec—did I just wander into a mystical farming sim? Not your average day at the pixel farm, huh? Anyway, so there’s this thing called Ritual of Raven dropping on the Nintendo Switch, like, next week—Aug 7, mark your calendars! Team17 and Spellgarden Games cooked this up. I mean, could be the escape you didn’t know you needed.

Picture it: you, your Book of Shadows (yes, that’s a thing), and this whole vibe of collecting magic thingamajigs to whip up your very own enchanted herb garden. Not the usual "throw seeds in dirt" deal. Nope, here you enchant, like, Arcana Constructs. What are those? Beats me. But they do your gardening for you! A lazy mage’s dream, am I right?

So, here’s the kicker—this world didn’t have its act together. Tried some big magic ritual stuff, and blam!, portals between worlds go nuts. People lost essentials, and suddenly things pop into existence like… outta nowhere. You stumble through one of said portals and land with Sage, who’s the local witch. She’s got this quest, needs you. Well, she says you’re perfect for it. You become her apprentice, and boom—adventure time! Looking for her lost Familiar, Flufferstoop. (Yes. Flufferstoop.)

While you and your cheeky Familiar Raven—yeah, a bird—roam around gathering ingredients for mystical shenanigans, you start filling out your Book of Shadows. Kinda sounds Shakespearean, doesn’t it? Meanwhile, you gotta stabilize these rogue portals bugging the village.

Hey, quirky neighbors are in the mix, too. Make friends, help them out, and whatnot. They’ve all got these backstories ’cause who doesn’t, right? Barter for magical stuff. Like, trade me this for, uh, that moon crystal thing?

Oh, and you’re not just farming and chatting. There’s a whole lunar connection! Each moon phase shifts your harvest, and you’ve got to harness that magic. Moon Shrine’s out there waiting for you. Strange, but intriguing.

Then, once you’ve settled in, comes home decor. Find Pistachio’s for some cosmic feng shui—whatever that looks like. Make the place feel right, ‘cause you’re not going anywhere soon.

Still with me? Good, ’cause you also get to create this collection of… things. Crystals, library entries, fishing claws—am I losing you? Apparently, you pull these artifacts out of portals. Imagine the possibilities.

And, maybe we’ll get deeper into this at PS4Blog.net soon. Stay tuned!

Wow, this kinda spiraled, didn’t it? But, turns out, sometimes a bit of chaos is just what you need when diving into magical gaming realms. Till next time, right?
