Nov. 2024

This was not what I was expecting -- the art is considerably worse, the gameplay is as much RPG as card game, but the use of Slavic mythology and Orthodox Christian legends are so dang rich, so dang full... It's also a much longer game than I expected. You definitely get your money's worth here.

Nov. 2024

This game is so enchanting. The turn based system is extremely well designed. The storytelling is really good - but I would advise you to use the russian audio, as it is a LOT better than the English audio. It can be a little tedious in the beginning, but once you get a hang of the game, it's a lot of fun to even do the side quests. It's also got multiple, equally satisfying endings depending on how you play Vasilisa. Even the ending with the most amount of sin is an interesting one!

Sept. 2024

Okay, so this is a strange one. The writing is... well, "poor" would be generous. It's very badly localized and the voice acting is so heavily accented and clumsy is sounds as if it was done by the game developers themselves. That being said, this game is fun. And I mean really fun. I'm the first person to put down a book or game because of bad writing, so it's saying a lot that I sunk 20+ hours into this one DESPITE it's terribly writing. The deckbuilding is fluid, unique, and addictive. It's not a rogue-like deckbuilder, so you don't have to worry about losing your deck and starting over. And also in spite of its terrible writing, there's a great tooltip system that lets you hover over any highlighted word to learn about it, and because the game is HEAVY on Russian mythology/folklore, practically everything is highlighted. I actually learned A TON about Russian folklore from this and I found it all fascinating. Those skills have even translated to the real-world! So, if you're like me and writing matter a lot to you, you might be put off by this game's first hour. However. If you turn off the sound on the dialogue (the acting is really irredeemably bad) and focus on the gameplay, you're going to find yourself loving this one.

Extraordinary atmosphere and super anthropologically satisfying experience. Except for The Witcher and a few other games, you can hardly find anything based on Slavic/Siberian folklore. I am so used to German/Celtic/Tolkien-like mythology and modernized East Asian demonic pantheon in game narratives. This is a breath of fresh forest swamp air.

March 2024

Interesting deck-building card-battler [*]awesome dark fantasy theme [*]several interesting strategies - If you like games like ' Relapse ', you'll like this one, too. [*]features choices with riddles that require research in the in-game encyclopedia entries - If you already know about Russian folklore, you might know the answers without looking. I didn't and still got most of them right. I honestly can't think of a single bad thing in this game (I say that from the POV of someone who absolutely loves both dark fantasy and this kind of game genre), except for one tiny gripe: The graphics IMO first required some getting used to, but became charming fast, especially after demons started showing up.
