Where the Raven Flies

Where the Raven Flies is a medieval courier flight adventure. You are a raven of the royal post, and a dispatch for the crown rides with you. The road runs north past archers, crossbowmen, gates, palisades, watchtowers and trebuchets, and every one of them would rather you didn’t arrive.

Fly low and fast. Flap to keep your height, roll and dive out of the way of arrows, and caw to rattle the men who loose them. Slip through the gates, never over the walls, and deliver.

The road

• 72 stops on a 3D world map, the long road to Aurelmark
• An endless road for when the dispatches run out
• Golden hour to torch-lit nights, across rivers, frost and sieges
• Briefings in the kingdom’s own words: “Fly through the gates, never over.”
• Opinionated garrisons: “Shoot the courier!” “Foul bird!” “Curse that screech!”

Ultra, and the men on the road

• An Ultra graphics setting for strong Windows and Linux PCs. The game picks it on a strong card, and you can choose Auto, High or Ultra in Settings. The screenshots on this page are Ultra.
• Phones are unchanged.
• Archers and crossbowmen are 3D figures on the road.

Fly it your way

• Touch on Android, keyboard or gamepad on every platform
• The music is the game’s own score, synthesised in code
