About the Game

The 1990s. After the collapse of the USSR, an ancient evil awakens in an abandoned bunker beneath your village. A dark spirit possesses a local girl, Vasilisa, heralding the invasion of monstrous forces. You must gather a team to find rare ingredients, brew a magical potion in Baba Yaga's hut, and lift the curse from the beauty — before the village turns into a realm of terror.

Explore eerie locations with your friends, gather magical components (and strategic reserves of vodka), face fairy-tale monsters, and save your kolkhoz.

Features:

🔮 Co-op for up to 4 players or Solo play

Assign roles, trade resources, and coordinate actions using positional voice chat.

🌑 Rising Dread
Dynamic difficulty: the longer you hesitate, the more aggressive the monsters become and the thicker the darkness grows.

🏚️ Slavic Horror
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the post-Soviet hinterlands and Russian fairy tales: brew a potion in Baba Yaga's hut, run away from the Kolobok and catch chickens to feed them to a living stove!

🌀 High Replayability
Random generation of key items, enemies, and events. An adaptive enemy AI reacts to your actions.

Intense Sessions
A race against time: save the village before midnight or become a part of its curse.
