About the Game

For over ten years, a prosperous miller and his family lived peacefully at the mill, feeding the nearby lands, and lived there happily. But whether someone cursed him, or he sinned himself, terrible events began, and now death follows on his heels, tormenting him with nightmares. When the moon rises, the rooms fill with living darkness, the floorboards creep, the millstones do not stop - as if someone else has settled in the mill.

Gameplay

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an old Slavic mill, explore its darkest corners and find secrets in them that will lead to the truth - what guilt led the hero to the brink of doom. Follow the clues; they may be encrypted or hidden, do not miss them, for they are valuable knowledge.

Pass tests and puzzles. You will face not only routine tasks at the mill, like grinding flour and baking bread; at night you may meet those who will cause trouble.

Do not listen to the words of evil spirits. Mara at all times poured nightmares on people and replaced reality; do not give in to it.

Remember the only advice: in no case let the evil spirits take power over you, do not let nightmares into your mind, then a bright outcome awaits you.
