An atmospheric Russian-folk horror visual novel with great art, sound and voice acting, but a widely hated episode 5 with contradictory endings. Skip it if you need a coherent conclusion.
Great for
Fans of atmospheric horror visual novels, 90s post-Soviet settings and hunting for multiple endings
Main risk
Episode 5's 20 contradictory, incoherent endings spoil the payoff after four great episodes
