About the Game

A cult devoted to the evil god Chernobog has summoned a portal to the realm of the living.

As the god of darkness, Chernobog spreads a corruption to the mortal world, that slowly destroys the surrounding lands and causing an illness to spread. In the many attempts to close the realm connecting Chernobog to the world, the leaders of nearby kingdoms have sacrificed all of their soldiers and are now running out of options.

Our protagonist Viktor, a humble farmer; has been forced to be the next to enter the realm and attempt to defeat Chernobog. Viktor must succeed in this task, otherwise he will lose his life.

Follow along in Viktor's story; fighting skeletons and completing unique challenges, such as time trial completions or using unique fighting style choices.
