Blasphemous

The game is set in a land called Cvstodia, which is all stylization of classical Latin, and there will be many phrases in this dead language in the game. Cvstodia is a world of torment and pain. It’s impossible to find someone happy and serene there because the people who live there suffer for their sins of his. Years ago, a miracle punished him: he was burned and the ashes left behind filled the cathedral where he and his servants dwelt. Years later, the souls buried in the ashes, including Escribar himself, escaped, becoming even more insane and bloodthirsty than they were before they died.

As for the more positive characters, one of them is our protagonist, the Penitent, a nameless servant of the Brotherhood of Silent Sorrow who has taken a vow of silence. He is the only survivor of the massacre that destroyed his comrades-in-arms, and the only one who can save the world from suffering.

Black Book

When you open the Black Book you irrevocably fall into the world of old Slavic rituals, folk customs, and immemorial beliefs. The folklore basis of the project stuns with its depth and authenticity, but most of all – an unusually harmonious consonance with the excellent gameplay.

The main character of the game – is Vasilisa, a young girl who mourns the tragic death of her lover. And to resurrect her beloved man, she will try to learn all the secrets of the Black Book and become a real witch.

The action of the game takes place in Cherdynsky district of the Perm province of the Russian Empire in 1879 and heavily relies on Russian folklore and Komi-Permyak mythology. To make sure that the myths and real places are authentic, the developers worked together with Russian ethnographers.

Source of Madness

Their equipment is simple: amulets, hoods, and combat artifacts. No machine guns or bombs help against the ancient evil. And once the fight against the monsters begins, the game exposes its flaws…
