This game is a godsend for anyone who enjoys hand drawn media: illustrations are minimalistic, yet gorgeous to look at, coupled with one of the best voice acting I have heard in a while (in the original Russian) and excellent writing, which conveys the many Russian and Slavic creatures, terms and historical backgrounds in an appropriate manner, and unlike most other similar games, it expects that the player reads and identifies him or herself with the world and lore surrounding him to progress: answers are never black or white, for they are mostly culturally grounded, so what seems correct might not be, because at the time in Russia, it wasn't, etc. This is a great game, a great visual novel, and a great piece of media to familiarize yourself with Slavic folkore. Highly recommended.
I payed and bought the Plartinum edition and I received the Enhanced edition, which, on top of that, refuses to launch. This review is not for the game itself, but for the acquisition of the game in GOG. Do not get the Platinum edition or risk getting scammed.
