Description

Become the witch of the woods in BLACKTAIL. Slavic myth comes to life in this surreal first-person action-adventure. Discover Yaga’s story and guide her along the path to become either the fearsome guardian of the forest or the dark legend that haunts children’s nightmares.

Create the myth of Baba Yaga by living out the origins of this classic Slavic folk story in BLACKTAIL, the first-person action-adventure from THE PARASIGHT. Experience a one-of-a-kind blend of intense archery combat and dark storytelling set in a vibrant fairy tale world. Choose your path to become either the guardian of the woods or the terror nightmares are made of.

You play as Yaga, a 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and expelled from an early medieval Slavic settlement. When living memories of her past return as foul, walking spirits, Yaga is faced with no other option than to hunt them down in hopes of unraveling her own mystery.

History
