Graven

Premise and main objectives

Graven is an adventure game set in a Gothic European city during Christmas. You play as Dr. Graven's apprentice, tasked with finding your mentor and the man he resurrected. The plot focuses on themes of life, death, and the moral implications of resurrection. Your journey begins when both Dr. Graven and the resurrected man go missing, prompting a search across the city.

Character traits and skills

You build your character around six traits: Beauty, Empathy, Observation, Wit, Alchemy, and Theology. Each trait influences your interactions and options throughout the game. Being highly skilled in one area may open specific conversations and possibilities, while lacking skills can create different outcomes or opportunities. The game does not require a balanced character, and deficiencies can shape your character in meaningful ways.
