    A very insteresting story (with a rich folklore context), accompanied with stunning visuals and atmospheric sounds. I picked it up to play casually, and I had to finish all the routes. There is some aspects that I would love to see more lore about it (the talisman, for instance), but overall, a pretty interesting course of events.

    I'm about an hour into the story as I write this, but so far I'm very impressed. The artwork is exceptionally well done; this would make a beautiful printed book. The writing is also very evocative. I hope we see more works from this artist and writer. Later: Finished and saw all five endings. Excellent throughout. If you are in the mood for a well-told story that includes interesting Slavic folklore, you can't go…
