About the Game

RAVENSBURG is a fast-hitting RPG inspired by camp and class B horror movies of the early 2000s. Step into a city turned upside down by a terrifying Gnostic cult as a vampire sent by the Church to defeat the diabolical menace. You're the last resort, the pill that is too hard to swallow, the cure bitter than the sickness. And you must save the City before the Demiurgic forces destroy it completely. Survive this blend of Gothic horror, Lovecraftian tale and anime aesthetics with the help of your 11 charismatic companions, each with their own personality and agenda, forge friendships or more with them as you work together to reclaim the city.

Embody Valdrich, a vampire with a gift for fighting and a rather questionable talent for thinking, and Kazia, his loyal companion with a lethal aim, but whose patience is shorter than the lives of their enemies.

The world of RAVENSBURG is extremely bleak and grim, intended for a MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY seeking a thought-provoking experience-one where cruelty, depravity, misery, and evil lurk around every corner, and only a select few are willing to face them, not always for the purest of reasons. The game does not shy away from dark themes or from exposing the worst aspects of the human condition, which are often met with cynicism and a bitter sense of humor.

This does not mean that RAVENSBURG is a world without HOPE. At every opportunity, the player is given both the means and the freedom to resolve the problems that arise along the way and is encouraged to never surrender; to embrace the journey, no matter the cost.
