The creatures that stalk these lands come from Slavic legend - each demon born of local myth, carrying its own history, its own hunger. Some fall to magic. Some to iron. Some cannot be killed at all. This fight is not that easy.

Combat weaves together hand-drawn spells and a revolver - magic to reveal, manipulate, and weaken; bullets for what remains.

Every location - abandoned villages, sunken forests, houses that should no longer stand - carries its own rules, its own darkness. The further you walk, the less stable the ground beneath you becomes. Reality here is not guaranteed.

Your mind, too, is not safe. Certain beings feed not on flesh, but on perception. The sanity system bends what you see and hear, until hallucinations and truth become indistinguishable. In the deepest corners of madness, something worse awaits.

The world is rendered in the weathered aesthetic of early 2000s horror - vertex lighting casting long shadows, audio crushed and compressed like a memory half-remembered.
