Description

So, you think you are the smartest biped inyour food chain? Re-skin yourself in black feathers and see ifyou've got what it takes to survive in Ravenous. Get from here tothere, find what you need to survive, and show you've got thefeathers to hook up with that special “some-bird”. Play like abird, be the bird.

Ravenous puts players in the role of a raven interacting with theliving and non-living challenges of its environment. Flying longerand longer distances reflects an intuitive understanding ofadaptations related to the aerodynamics and energy cost of birdflight as well as behavioral strategies that influence survival.Ravenous is part of the Leveling Up collection, developed by EdGEto support and measure science learning in games people choose toplay in their free time.

EdGE — On the edge of science and play! The Educational GamingEnvironments group (EdGE) at TERC hopes to show that learninghappens in all kinds of places by investigating thepossibilities—and challenging the assumptions—of game-basedlearning environments. EdGE is designing and studying games whosemechanics mirror real scientific phenomena, but more importantly,are fun to play.
