What they say about us
“The game in my opinion from many sides is very interesting. First of all, its setting. There are already very few games about the Russian Empire of the 19th century, and I am generally in favor of the native setting being present in games and in its very unpopular moments, little covered in this art form”
“The plot of this novel is being worked on, and seems to be done quite tightly. The dialogues are well written, the characters have their own personalities and development. The relationships between the characters are well written, in some places there was even a bit of “chemistry”. At the same time, everything is also voiced by professionals”
“But most importantly, of course, is intrigue, which is crucial for a demo of any story-oriented game. What eerie forces are involved in the murder? And what mystical powers does the heroine of the novel possess? With the proper level of plot, I'm sure that these mysteries in the entourage of snowy taiga will be interesting to solve. But the elements of horror, probably, will help the game to achieve mass appeal”
