Black Book (Russian: Чёрная книга) is an adventure role-playing video game, developed by Morteshka, which created The Mooseman, and published by HypeTrain Digital.
[1][2] Taking place in 19th century Russia, the game is heavily inspired by Russian and Komi folklore narrative is based on Bailichkas.
To ensure the authenticity in depiction of myths and real-life locations, the developers worked alongside Russian ethnographers.
In the game, players control Vasilisa - a young sorceress, who travels across the landscape of rural Russia, aiding commonfolk along the way.
[5] Rock Paper Shotgun found that while the card battles were sometimes ill-balanced, they praised the game for its specific approach to Russian folklore, stating that it was where it "shows its heart".
