Camp Ravenrock Demo

Every child in the world hoped to uncover their special abilities at some point in their lives, especially since they are constantly bombarded by cartoons, video games and movies that feature wizards and superheroes. Naturally, there comes an age when you stop waiting for that Hogwarts owl to drop by, but that doesn’t mean you also have to stop enjoying fantasy stories altogether.

Camp Ravenrock is an interactive visual novel that puts you in the role of a character with special abilities. The game borrows elements from multiple genres, on the other hand, so there’s a bit of role-playing as well, not to mention the dating sim elements that allow you to romance other characters. In short, it’s a pretty neat sandbox where you can influence the story and change things as you progress.

You are free to name your character in the beginning, and the story revolves around a school for people with special powers. In essence, the full game should allow you to go through 31 days of classes, but only five days are included in the demo. Besides learning how to handle your abilities, you can also communicate with other students and make new friends, or even get involved in romantic relationships.

The fact that you can make choices is always a great addition to any video games, and in this case you can also experience different routes and endings depending on what you say in certain situations. Going through the game multiple times means that you can get a lot more content out of it, even if a big portion of the story cannot be altered. Much more variety is planned for the full version, however.

In terms of graphics, Camp Ravenrock is not the prettiest game out there, but it’s certainly colorful and enjoyable, especially in terms of backgrounds. As for the character artwork, it can be a tad unusual and funky, especially when it comes to proportions, but you can get over this rather quickly. Moreover, this aspect is probably going to be improved for the final release.

Camp Ravenrock has all the makings of a great visual novel, especially because of the variety in terms of characters and their views about the world. Hence, it’s worth a shot if you like dating sims with fantasy elements.
