[h2]short but good introduction to the main storyline[/h2]

Although I already have the official version of this game, I really can't find the time to play it. (Maybe I have a vague idea in my heart of not wanting to play it) Just play the prologue and experience it. The game was created in the context of Eastern Orthodoxy mythology, which is completely incomprehensible to a foreigner like me. There are a lot of weird and jerky names in the game that I've never heard of growing up. But it can be seen from this point that the game is very elegant and refined. Attractive for those who want to gain insight into Eastern Orthodoxy culture. In terms of gameplay alone, I think the game is pretty average. After I passed the prologue, I really didn't want to play the full version. Even feel a little tired. Its card gameplay isn't too much fun either. I personally think that the essence of this game is its Eastern Orthodoxy culture, if you're not interested in this, you probably won't like this game. -------------------------------------------------- Manual achievement: 0/0

This is a RPG using a card deck combat system. The game is very atmospheric and steeped in Slavic mythology which I'm not particularly familiar with but that isn't a problem as there is enough explanation so that this doesn't get in the way of the game. It looks like the prologue is no longer available which is a shame (I'd downloaded it a long time ago but only just got round to playing it). I like prologues on a “try before you buy” basis and will probably buy the full game in the future.

I'm not much a fan of card-style games but I did enjoy this prologue. I liked the "hints" option that revealed the meaning of some words common to the lore and culture. Simple enough to play and if you enjoy cultural-based lore this, I think, is good. Though I won't be purchasing the game I'm still giving this a thumbs up. Just because I don't like the the game mechanics doesn't warrant a bad review. To each their own.
