Apr 6, 2022I 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.

Sep 29, 2021Honestly, 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.

Aug 26, 2021Black Book brings simple yet challenging ideas to a story set around a fistful of Northern Russian myths.

Aug 11, 2021Black Book is a bewitching combo of deck-building RPG and D&D-esque storytelling, with a bucket load of ideas where some work better than others. With some refinement and editing, Black Book could have been a must-play release. Without it, it’s still an intriguing mix of gameplay systems that is bolstered by its striking visual style and incredible attention to detail with its Northern Slavic mythology and well-thought-out story-telling. It’s definitely like nothing else I’ve played this year, which is worth celebrating. Despite its shortcomings, I couldn’t help but be under Black Book’s unique spell.
