Voron

 

In Voron you are a raven with an important task: guiding lost souls to their new home. In this story-driven adventure game, you will learn how to fly, explore a Norse-inspired, tiny open world, and don't forget to croak from time to time – that's what a raven does, right? In this story-driven adventure, you will master the art of flight, solve puzzles, explore a Norse-inspired open world, uncover dozens of secrets, and try to save the world from the inevitable Ragnarok!

  • You play as a raven, and yes, there's a button to croak! Experience the freedom of flight with unique controls that evolve and change as you play, keeping each moment exciting and fresh, for example – only you decide when to flap or fold your wings!
  • An emotional story about living as a raven who is constantly connected to death – sometimes it's strangers, and sometimes it's someone very close. But don't be misled; the world of Voron, inspired by Norse mythology, offers an unusual perspective on life and death.
  • At the beginning, you won't fully understand some characters, as they speak in "Souls Language." You'll gradually learn this language by interacting with NPCs and exploring the world.
  • Hidden Story: For players who enjoy finding secrets, a deeper meaning awaits discovery by exploring the world.
