Soundtrack Details For ‘BLACKTAIL’

After the announcement trailer for the upcoming first-person adventure game BLACKTAIL fans have commented on the music heard in it and made it clear they wanted to hear more. Today developer THE PARASITE has released more information about the game’s soundtrack. The game’s soundtrack will be composed by the award-winning composer Arkadiusz Reikowski who also composed the soundtrack for Layers of Fear 2, Blair Witch, and The Medium where he worked alongside legendary composer Akira Yamaoka. Reilowski had this to say about what fans will be expecting to hear: In BLACKTAIL, a combination of dreamlike, Slavic themes, and modern motifs is unheard of, and allows us to create something truly unique, something that has not been previously seen in the videogame industry. I create music in collaboration with distinguished guests: Zazula Vocal Group, Bartosz Pałyga, and CZELUSC Collective. The effect will be more than worth the wait!” BLACKTAIL is a first-person game that shows the origins of the Baba Yaga,

Become The Baba Yaga In ‘BLACKTAIL’

Ex Bloober Team members THE PARASITE have announced their first game they’re working on that brings a whole new look of the Slavic legend The Baba Yaga with her origin story in the game BLACKTAIL. In BLACKTAIL, players will be taken into an open-world first-person shooter where they take on the role of Yaga, a young woman cast out of her village for suspicion of witchcraft. Now armed with a bow and powers, she must journey through the world to find missing pieces of her past and unlock keys to her future. The game will also feature tough decision-making options for Yaga where her choices will lead her to become the guardian of the forest or down a twisted path of nightmares and become evil. The Player’s choices will also affect Yaga’s selection of abilities that will change based on her morality. BLACKTAIL will be released for Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

‘YAGA’ Brings The Fun And Old Tales!

I enjoy folklore outside North America, so I was stoked when Versus Evil and Breadcrumbs Interactive allowed me to play their action RPG that revolves entirely around Slavic Mythology, YAGA. YAGA revolves around the tale of Ivan, a blacksmith that’s unlucky, and missing a hand because of it! Ivan is tasked with quests from the Tsar that will take him into the wilderness where he encounters bandits and mythological creatures as he smashes his way through them to achieve greatness, as well as looking for a wife (to quiet his Grandmother). As all this happens, Baba Yaga watches from beyond, influencing Ivan’s journey. The controls of the game are simple and easy to learn as there are not many buttons used in the game. Ivan’s main weapon is a hammer which not only can be used to strike enemies but can be thrown like Thor’s hammer and strike foes at a distance before spinning right back to him. You can

Action RPG Game ‘YAGA’ Coming In November

Indie game publisher Versus Evil and indie Romanian game developer Breadcrumbs Interactive have announced today the release date for their upcoming Slavic Mythology inspired RPG, YAGA. YAGA is a 2D RPG that follows our hero Ivan, a one-handed blacksmith with the worse luck in the world and things are about to get stranger for him! The Tzar has given Ivan a task that will lead him to face all sorts of mythological creatures and legendary figures of Slavic Folklore, all the while the infamous Baba Yaga monitors Ivan’s fate. Gameplay is never the same twice as the map always changes, encounters with characters and monsters are random, and choices players make for Ivan can affect the outcome of events as well as what items he can forge with supplies he collects from the world around him multiple ways, and if you’re wondering, yes, there are multiple endings! The hand-drawn epic adventure YAGA will be coming out on November 12th on
