Sticky Business devs reveal magical farming sim Ritual of Raven

Ritual of Raven is the next game from indie studio Spellgarden Games and it looks even more whimsical and cozy than Sticky Business.

Team17 and Spellgarden Games announced Ritual of Raven, a new cozy magical farming sim from the creators of Sticky Business. The reveal came as part of the Wholesome Games Steam Event, but the game is also available on the Nintendo Switch.

Spellgarden Games describes Ritual of Raven as a cozy farming game, but what sets it apart from the best farm games out there currently is that you don't do the farming yourself. Instead, you enchant adorable arcana constructs to look after your crops for you while you go and live your best witchy life. The bright and whimsical color palette perfectly matches Spellgarden Games' now-distinctive art style, which we've come to know thanks to Sticky Business.

You play as Sage the witch's apprentice, gathering knowledge and ingredients to perform powerful rituals and hopefully bring stability back to the portals scattered around the world. Meet tons of unique and friendly characters, decorate your farm and the wider world, and even command the moon to use its phases for your magic.

When was the Ritual of Raven Switch release date?

Ritual of Raven released on the Nintendo Switch and Steam on August 7, 2025. It also featured in the Wholesome Games Celebration on Steam, and is the perfect cozy Steam Deck game.
