Great classic text game with beautiful flavor
Love the Russian and Slavic-inspired setting. Recommended highly!
SJW propaganda,and no understanding of Russian folklore
As a Russian I am disgusted with the way developers treated my folklore and heritage!
Everything in this game is horrible-writing,plot and use of Slavic mythology!
All this game is gender politics propaganda!
I hope that every person involved with the making of this game will leave the industry!

So, like a lot of the reviews are saying, this game is not worth any amount of money. Aside from lackluster writing and mediocre narrative, if you're excited about an "old time Russia" myth type story you are in the WRONG PLACE. Your "gender nonconforming sibling" (just like in ancient Russia! Remember?!) is shoved down your throat unceremoniously in the very beginning, which is apparently.... common place? In this tiny Russian village?? I don't care about the authors views, but to sacrifice a well-thought out plot or likable characters for the sake of an agenda is pretty self serving and I certainly didn't enjoy this game for its writing or story.

Great fun!
This was my go-to for my daily work commute. Much more fun and engaging than your typical book. I loved how much it incorporated Russian folklore (I even learned a bit!) and it was easy to say "just one more page..." I've played through the story once, and it seems like it has great replay-ability. I have another path in mind for my next character. :)

God awful
Very poorly written, I was falling asleep during the entire story. Choices have no real impact on the story and it seems the author isn't well educated on Russian culture and folklore. The brother is gender neutral and his father cooks and the mother fights, there's no freaking Way that happens in Russian folklore.

Pushing it
The entire time I played it it felt like they were pushing what they had in mind for gender
Just not good
If you want to make a game about Russian folklore and history, it doesn't really work if you try to force down a bunch of modern ideas about gender and all that.
It didn't feel like I was in Russia, let alone any sort of medieval society. Why can't more games be like Sabres of Infinity and actually take into account the societal norms of whatever time period they want to take place in? I really can't take a medieval game seriously when like a couple pages into the game my sibling has a gender crisis and it's considered to be a completely normal thing in my tiny village, ya know?

Wow
I've played every choice of games and hosted game game to date and this ranks in the top 3 for worst games. Your choices lack real meaning, the grammar is poor, and if I'm fairly certain that whoever wrote this travesty decided to reverse every generic gender role they could throughout the story.
Don't even get me started on the sibling that I felt 0 connection to who suddenly goes gender neutral 5 pages in. The author took a full page just to describe how common children under age 10 want to change their gender. Are you for real?
*Spoilers* Your parents allow you at age 12 to arm yourselves and travel hundreds of miles alone for the benefit of your brother. And are pretty indifferent about it too.
There was not a single character in this whole game that felt even slightly human. I paid 5$ for a game that I'd regret buying for 1. If you're debating playing this game then don't. The Fall of Daria is just so much better. Go play that again instead.

Eh
It's ok, but it's not great/good. The wolf as the loyal companion was my favorite. But I hate how the story instantly ends if you go into demon mode. I was expecting you would have near maxed physical and fighting stats if you kept using it as you turned into a demon. But nope, the game ends with a cliche "I'm too powerful for my own good, so I must hide away so no one can ever see me". Feels like a cop out and a cliche ending because u wanted to use a demon's power. Atleast with another hosted game, where you choose to be a demon summoner the game didn't abruptly end but accepted it and u got to use cool skills/abilities. This game wasn't worth the $5, the character wasn't me instead I felt like I was following along with some average choices. Edit: Giving this game one star since I just remembered how the author tried to force down their non-gender belief by having your sibling not have one.

Wow pc police
Literally within the first page of this book you are forced to deal with mental illness and someone deciding they have no gender and how "normal" that is.
Edit: I should have waited until the game made you choose which ethnic minority your character had to be the very next page. Many of which haven't existed in any significant numbers in Russia since the last ice age. Whoever researched the history of a game like this destroys any semblance of immersion and makes their credibility laughable when they revise historical fact to suit their diverse and vibrant agenda.

This studio never fails me
I'm a long time lover of this style of game, and while this may not be my favorite game of theirs, it's still a fun and sometimes challenging adventure.
