About the Game

SKAZ: Shadow of the Tsar

AS LONG AS YOU’RE REMEMBERED — YOU LIVE.

An isometric action-RPG where memory is your weapon, fate is currency, and a shattered Slavic world breathes with forgotten gods.

You awaken without a name.
Without a past.
In a world torn into four realms — Yav, Nav, Prav, and Vid — where every memory can reshape you… or destroy you.

The world recognizes you.
Then instantly forgets.

To survive, you must remember who you were…
or choose who you will become.

WHY THIS GAME IS DIFFERENT

No classes. No limits. You rebuild your identity.

Every memory fragment you recover:

  • unlocks new abilities and combat styles,

  • reshapes your personality and morality,

  • alters NPC relationships,

  • opens hidden paths and outcomes,

  • changes how the world reacts to you.

You don’t follow a story.
You reconstruct your soul.

Combat driven by will, ritual, and forgotten power

Fight:

  • Nav-born monsters,

  • shadows of ancient gods,

  • cursed volkhs,

  • creatures erased even from folklore.

Use Slavic rites, protective symbols, curses, and abilities tied to what you choose to remember.

Four realms. Four laws. One broken world.

Explore:

  • Yav — the mortal world, collapsing under its own weight

  • Nav — land of the dead, where whispers drown screams

  • Prav — forsaken domain of gods

  • Vid — reality of reflections and stolen memories

These aren’t just locations.
They are four versions of reality, woven into a living system.

Slavic noir carved in shadow and myth

Fog-drenched forests, ancient idols, drowned villages, ghost-lit marshes.
This is not a fairy tale.
This is SKAZ — a world trying to forget you.

RECLAIM YOUR NAME.

RECLAIM YOUR FATE.
AS LONG AS YOU’RE REMEMBERED — YOU LIVE.
