Raviolo's Dimensional Hunt

Overview

Raviolo's Dimensional Hunt is a branching console adventure game set in the wider Raviolo The Magician universe. After a mysterious robber steals an enormous hoard of rubies, Raviolo and his team must track the thief across multiple dimensions. Each world hides clues, dangers, and fragments of the stolen treasure.

The journey begins in a strange hub known as the Easter Bunny's Hollow, located on the distant planet 51 Eridani. From this underground nexus, portals lead to various dimensions that Raviolo has encountered before. The Hollow acts as the team's base of operations while they follow the trail of the stolen rubies.

The game combines exploration, branching decisions, and tense encounters. Choices determine how situations unfold, and not every decision leads to survival.

Gameplay

The game is presented as a text-based interactive adventure played entirely in the terminal or console window.

Players progress by reading the story and choosing numbered options when decisions appear. Many events branch into different outcomes depending on the choices made.

Features include:

• Branching narrative paths

• Multiple decision points

• Success and failure outcomes

• Character dialogue between Raviolo and his team

• Horror elements and unexpected encounters

• Environmental puzzles and situational challenges

Because the story branches frequently, different choices may reveal new scenes or lead to entirely different results.

Story Premise

The story begins immediately after the disappearance of a vast ruby hoard.

The vault was not broken into, and no alarms triggered. Somehow, the entire fortune vanished without a trace.

A mysterious talking bunny offers Raviolo a lead. Using dimensional trackers hidden inside the Hollow, the bunny has located disturbances that suggest the rubies were moved across several worlds.

With access to the Hollow's portal network, Raviolo and his team begin searching the affected dimensions. Each location may contain clues pointing toward the robber responsible.

However, something about the situation feels suspicious. The trail of rubies seems almost too convenient.

Structure

The game is divided into chapters. Each chapter represents a segment of the investigation and may contain multiple paths depending on player decisions.

Although the story can branch in many directions, all choices contribute to the larger mystery surrounding the missing ruby hoard.

The game is designed to encourage replaying sections to discover alternative outcomes.

The game is played using simple keyboard input.

When a choice appears:

1. Type the number corresponding to your chosen option.

The game will also occasionally pause and wait for the player to press Enter to continue reading.
