Our take on Ravenwood
The store presentation gives substantial space to expansive realms, ancient secrets, and varied expeditions. The stated play loop is more specific: survive each run, improve spells, collect gold, and buy upgrades between attempts. That survival structure is easier to miss in the broader adventure framing.
