What players say
A hidden gem. Great atmosphere, engaging storytelling, and genuinely enjoyable gameplay.
One of my favourite games. I would strongly reccomend it to anyone who enjoys deep stories, well thought out lore and a beautiful artstyle. The game's portrayal of Slavic culture is in my opinion, one of the best I have ever seen. I also love historical fiction, so this checks many boxes for me.
Very fun game! You get to pet a cat sometimes and be a vampire. Idk what else to say seems like that should be enough.
