About the Game

Black Raven is an action-adventure third-person-slasher rooted in Slavic mythology. Set in a 14th century fictionalized slavic region. Black Raven transports players to the dark heart of the black death amid the sweeping plains and eerie woodlands of Eastern Europe. This grim tale unfolds after Ivan, a humble farmer, returns home to find his family torn apart by pillagers and evil folklore foes. Fueled by vengeance, he takes on the mantle of the Black Raven to hunt down those who destroyed his life.

Embark on a haunting journey through dense forests, haunted battlegrounds, and desolate villages. Along the way, experience the history of intense, historically inspired combat against ruthless enemies. 

Fight a diverse cast of folklore villains with unique strengths, dive deeper into the secrets of the land, and feel the weight of Ivan’s descent into a world gripped by despair and disease. 

Black Raven is a melting pot of Ukrainian, Polish, and Belarussian culture and history. With a pixel art graphics style inspired by historical themes and a mysterious story to create an unforgettable atmosphere of anger, loss, and resolve. Journey through Ivan's harrowing story from the quiet countryside to contemptuous towers, where he’ll face his ultimate reckoning.
