Black Book is an upcoming adventure role-playing video game, developed by Morteshka and published by HypeTrain Digital. The game is planned to be released in 2021.[1]

Taking place in 19th century Russia, the game is heavily inspired by Russian folklore. To ensure the authenticity in depiction of myths and real-life locations, the developers worked alongside Russian anthropologists.

Gameplay

In the game, players control Vasilisa - a young sorceress, who travels across the landscape of rural Russia, aiding commonfolk along the way. The players achieve that by solving puzzles and engaging in battle using a deck-building card combat system. Throughout the journey, choices made by the player will affect the plot and general progression of the game.

Plot

A young girl named Vasilisa, destined to become a witch, decides to throw her fate away and marry her beloved - but that dream is shattered when her betrothed dies under mysterious circumstances.

Aching for her lost love, Vasilisa seeks out Black Book - a demonic artifact, said to be powerful enough to grant any wish to the one who uncovers all 7 of its seals.

Development

Development of the game started in 2017. The game is set to be released for Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in late 2020.[2]

It is the second game developed by Russian team Morteshka, their previous project The Mooseman takes inspiration from Finno-Ugric lore and the Chud tribes of Northern Europe.[3]
