Excellent card based combat RPG
A gothic adventure set in the early industrial Russian country side. Immerse yourself in the culture witches and sin. Narrative: Your beloved is dead. To bring him back you must unseal the Black Book to grant your wish. To do so you must find the proper chorts (demons) with the power to break the various seals. Travel the countryside seaking those that can help. There's a 'twist' in the story, but it's sort out of nowhere and not really interesting. Mechanics: I don't usually like card based combat, but BB manages to make it interesting. You get two types of pages; black to mainly attack and white to mainly defend/heal. You chain the pages together to deal tons of damage, debuff/buff or heal. The trick is BB manages to make the cards mostly all good. I seldom found a card I wasn't able to make work. Despite this I still found the game challenging. The other part of the game is how you choose to help or curse the various villagers you encounter. Cursing increases your sins, but gets you robust rewards. Helping can get you some rewards, but not nearly as many. Sins can have an effect later on. Visuals: The graphics are a combination of basic 3d modelling a cell shading, to an extent. This basic art style works well for the chorts as it gives them a more alien appearance, but it results in the humans, and the protag, looking a little dopey. The spell visual effects are also lack luster and don't really convey 'power'. The environments benefit in the same way as the chorts. The simplistic style makes the whole work a bit more mysterious and ephemeral. Presentation: Good music, but somewhat forgettable (except the collected songs). Although you can have 3 sets of pages for your combat you can't choose which set to use when battle begins. If you die, you can change later, but it would have been nice to pick before the battle. It would also be nice to have a 'test' battle as an option to play around with page sets. As it stands you can only test in production.
