BLACKTAIL

You play as Yaga, a 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and driven from her medieval Slavic home. In a forest filled with strange spirits and talking creatures, she hunts down returning memories and tries to uncover the mystery of her past.

Explore the forest, take on quests, fight enemies and bosses with a bow and magic, and gather resources from the land. You can craft arrows and potions, hunt wildlife, and search for treasures and recipes.

The forest is divided into seasonal regions, with a hut serving as a hub for brewing elixirs and improving abilities. Choices and actions move Yaga toward good or evil, affecting her skills and interactions with the forest’s inhabitants.

Reviews often praise the dark, colorful fairy-tale atmosphere, Slavic folklore setting, and the story’s characters and dialogue; some also highlight the music, voice acting, and rewards for exploring. Opinions on combat are more divided, with recurring complaints that bow fights and encounters become repetitive or clunky. Some players found the story or morality system unclear or less consequential than expected, while others enjoyed how choices affected skills and interactions.
