About the Game

"Тmutarakan" is a fantasy kinetic visual novel that follows the adventures of young Oleg and his friends on their journey to the town of Tmutarakan.

Dive into the magical and adventure-filled atmosphere of Gardariki — a world reminiscent of ours, where ancient legends and modernity intertwine in a unique symphony. This world is inspired by the mythology of Ancient Rus and combines elements of Slavic, Western, and Asian legendary tales.

The young and intelligent prince Oleg, accused of murdering his father, is forced to flee his hometown. His journey, full of dangers and unexpected twists, intersects with Maryam — a mysterious steppe princess, and Ivan — a cynical warrior. Together, they must navigate a multitude of adventures, overcome mutual distrust, learn to take responsibility for their decisions, and understand the meaning of true friendship in the most perilous situations. Ultimately, they aim to reach Tmutarakan — a majestic city where they hope to uncover the truth and restore justice.

The heroes' journey takes them through a myriad of diverse cities. Each holds its secrets and dangers, leading to unexpected alliances and betrayals. As they face challenges and obstacles, the heroes learn to understand each other more deeply, their relationships evolve and become more sincere and profound.
