About Black Book

Black Book fuses card-based RPG mechanics with adventure-game storytelling to tell a haunting tale steeped in Slavic folklore. It follows Vasilisa, a young woman destined to become a witch who tries to reject that fate and marry the man she loves, only to see her dream collapse when her betrothed dies under mysterious circumstances. Grief-stricken, she seeks out the Black Book, a demonic artifact said to grant any wish to whoever uncovers all seven of its seals.

Her journey carries her across the rural countryside, where she eases the troubles of common folk by confronting demons and performing exorcisms. Unleashing hellish spells means collecting spell cards and gaining new skills as you progress, and the strategic layer extends to commanding a flock of demons that will torment you if left idle, so you must always keep them busy.

Much of the appeal lies in its authenticity. The world draws on Northern Slavic mythology, and an in-game encyclopedia assembled with the help of expert anthropologists lets you learn its lore and track down every folk tale hidden inside. Between the riddles, side-quests, and glimpses of countryside life, this indie RPG on PC blends genuine cultural detail with dark fantasy.
