Zastupa: Blacker than Black

Are you ready to set off on an exciting and dark journey through the Novgorod Republic in 1668? Explore the snow-covered Giblya Forests, where mavkas, the dead, and the chud live. Immerse yourself in the horrors of a peasant uprising—surviving by a miracle and watching the execution of the leaders.

Together with the devil and a witch, visit pre-New-Year Novgorod, decorated and bloodied. Or go together with an unfamiliar priest to unravel the mystery of vanished villages. Learn the story of how a famous wurdalak became a protector.

If you’re not afraid, Rukh Buchila—the killer, the libertine, and the trickster—will be your guide through this dangerous world.
