Black Book Gets Release Date on PC and Consoles

I have been following the development of Morteshka’s Black Book since their Kickstarter campaign back in May of 2020. The game took four days to reach its goal and immediately captured my attention with its dark fantasy aesthetic. Based on Slavic mythology, Black Book is a card-based RPG that is coming to PC and consoles after a long wait.

HypeTrain Digital and Morteshka announced that Black Book will be releasing on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on August 10^th. You’ll be able to purchase it for $24.99 after the first week of release. For that first week, it will be 15% off for all purchasers. Right now, you can play the free prologue on Xbox and Steam, which will give you an idea of what the game is like ahead of release.

For those that aren’t aware, here is what you can look forward to when Black Book releases, according to the press release. “Black Book is a haunting tale of a young sorceress Vasilisa seeking the power of Black Book to revive her beloved one. Fight evil forces in card-based battles and explore the world, where humans live alongside mythological creatures. Dive into the cold, yet alluring world of Slavic folktales — and uncover the secrets that hide in the darkness.”

“Key Features:

Experience a haunting tale of myth and mystery, set in the backdrop of towns and villages of the late 19th Century;
7 Chapters to get through — each with their own main unfolding narrative and multiple side-stories;
Battle the evil spirits with the card-collecting, deck-building battle system;

Meet all kinds of companions on your way through Cherdyn — from a war-battered soldier to a talking cat with a dry sense of humor;
Recruit demonic forces to your cause and use their power to grow stronger;
Dive into the world of Slavic legend and folklore, and test your newfound knowledge of its mythology.”

I am very excited for people to get their hands on Black Book. I played through the free prologue during the Steam Festival last year, and it was an absolute blast. August 10^th can’t come soon enough if you ask me.
