The music compliments all the scenery very well, from the moody forests to the voorboden mansions. Each area you visit is filled to the brim with colour, objects, and whole lotta detail (even if it’s occasionally to the player’s detriment). This helps show off the game’s lovely art style well, with what I can best describe as pixel art meets a more dominant 3D.

The way the game positions the camera is almost panorama-like, not necessarily following your playable character around but close enough and with enough wiggle room to do a few twists and turns if need be.

Heck, even before you get into the meat of the game, the player is treated to a beautiful rendition of bright blue skies on a farmland backdrop. The world that WhatsApp 2 wakes up in is a gorgeous one. Let’s follow her on a journey with many a quest and a lot of sword swinging. So, after a brief discussion with the family, we unanimously dubbed her ‘WhatsApp 2’. The girl can be named whatever you so desire. But all that changes when she opens the doors to the nearby barn… I picked it up for review for that very reason.ĭeveloped and published by Coccocucumber, Ravenlok follows the adventures of a young girl who moves out to the countryside with her family, away from all that city stuff, and naturally for anyone stuck outside city lines: she’s bored.

So, I have a bit of a soft spot for worlds unknown, even if Ravenlok’s Alice in Wonderland setting wasn’t exactly one of Grimms’ works. I read that book countless times, my gateway to books that collection was. I was an avid reader of the Brothers Grimm as a kid, a neighbour of mine once handed me an omnibus of their works.
