I rolled off the stove and pet the cat - 10/10 would recommend. This game is very engrossing and atmospheric, with dialogue and characters that seem very real. The setting is fascinating and while I had to look up a couple of words I found myself interested to learn more about the time and place. It's curious how even some little choices and options in the game seem weighty - do I bring my sword with me when I go places? What if I need it? Should I drink the tea someone offers me? Should I stick around town or explore farther into the dark woods? It feels like it takes some real bravery, which I wasn't expecting from a choose-your-own-adventure style of game. Good stuff.
Great, creepy visual novel. Bless, you can pet the cat nearly as often as you wish to. Plenty of funny moments to help you briefly forget how messed up your situation is. I hate Onfim. I love weird little dudes. Edit: Now I feel badly about what I said.

4/5。文笔非常优美,环境描写很细腻,冷冽克制的悬疑风格也体现得不错。经典的毛味符号,黑夜里的伊兹巴小木屋,基辅罗斯诺夫哥罗德大公,东正教教堂,白桦树林,圣愚型小女孩。很毛味的真真假假的神秘主义,虽然已知凶手但怪物到底是象征义还是实际义我感觉是写得比较抽象的。 主角是个流浪骑士,可自定义性别。此游女角色写得都还比较立体。前面的某些选项很意想不到地影响了结尾走向。故事风味有点让我想起你俄的《果戈里》电影三部曲。 喜欢misericorde的可以试试这部,我觉得有共同点。
i've never played a visual novel with this many choices that felt like they mattered! it felt like playing dnd! Was really sweating at some of these choices too...
Chapter Seven is gamebreakingly bugged and the devs haven't responded to anything about it for over a month.
This is a super enjoyable little murder mystery visual novel I'm very impressed by it; the writing is stellar and the characterisation is very well-realised despite a short run-time. I'd love to figure out all this game's secrets, it's going to take me a few replays to figure out how to save as many villagers as I can
Best described as a visual novel, this horror noir / choose your own adventure game uses literary language to send the user to medieval Russia as a nomad who wanders into a village with a monster problem. If you love language, this game is right up your alley. Be sure to examine the chickens.
I SHOULD PROBABLY SLEEP BUT THIS IS A GOOD GAME
The game has two problems 1. Writing. In particular, the abundance of untranslated Russian words. Perhaps, they were supposed to add authenticity, but they only confuse. 2. The predictability of the plot. Unfortunately, when the main plot twist is so blunt and recognizable in the first 10 minutes of the game, the rest doesn't really matter. For a text game like this, both writing and plot issues are critical, so I don't recommend the game.
Loving this murder mystery visual novel! With such a short playtime, it was so awesome to see the characterization and how the story unfolds. Definitely going to be replaying to get all the secrets and get all the endings :D
