A Raven's Request
Ruffle Fate's Feathers
Someone you know has passed from this life to the next, but you believe it's not their time. So, hearing tales of heroes before you, you made a treacherous journey to the the Realm of the Dead. Upon request to the Lord of the Dead, you'd be allowed to bring who you sought back to the Realm of the Living, but only if you never looked back to see them. Now, you must climb back to the Realm of the Living while avoiding being tempted to look right behind you.
A Raven's Request is a bookmark sized journaling game based of the legend the of Orpheus and Eurydice. Where you try to avoid following in Orpheus' steps and get your own Eurydice back to the Realm of the Living. Every time you encounter something in the Realm of the Dead, there is a chance it will tempt you. If you're tempted 3 times, you look back and the Lord of the Dead comes to take you.
What you will meet in that dreaded realm is all up to you. With 4 different types of things to find whenever you draw a card and tons of different afterlifes to explore, the possibilities are only bound by your imagination.

You have made your journey to the Land of the Dead, bargained with it's Lord, and have been granted the chance to bring back your loved one. Now you must leave and return to the land of the living, and no matter what tempts you, you must not look back.
A Raven's Request is a short, bookmark-sized game based on Orpheus and Eurydice. You start out having already been granted your request to bring your loved one back. To determine who they are, you roll 1d6 and answer a few questions about them.
Each round, you pull one card from the deck, which will give you a little snippet to write about on your journey towards the Living, and roll 1d6. On a 6 you suffer a temptation to look back, and after 3 temptations you fail.
But if you manage to last for 10 Rounds, you succeed in bringing your loved one back. I only suffered 2 temptations and succeeded in bring back a little old lady who died before her time. You can find my playthrough HERE
