    Honestly, I love Black Book. This marvelous piece of work consistently avoids the expected beats, and I have no doubt that many aspects of the story and how it’s told will be quite surprising – hell, simply being exposed to the attitudes and views of the characters is eye-opening all on its own. Morteshka has brought us a title that offers a glimpse into a time and place that we rarely see, and has couched it the incredible journey of a humble Russian girl.

    Black Book brings simple yet challenging ideas to a story set around a fistful of Northern Russian myths.

    I wonder if it is possible to underestimate the absence of the Russian language, is it possible to underestimate the absence of any otherI wonder if it is possible to underestimate the absence of the Russian language, is it possible to underestimate the absence of any other language in their games?
    If it's possible to **** a game over LGBT references, can it be turned against them?
    We have become tolerant of intolerance.

    Incredible game, I've walked it thorough in one breath. Love how it brings Russian folklore to the wider international audience.
