Vasilisa and Baba Yaga (v1.5.7)

Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is a unique adventure game set in a dark, folklore-inspired world where players follow the journey of Vasilisa, a young girl seeking the mysterious power of fire from the legendary witch Baba Yaga. Tasked with proving her worth, Vasilisa must navigate through the eerie land of the dead and face a series of challenges that blend various gameplay styles. The story draws heavily from traditional Russian fairy tales, told through an immersive narrative voice speaking in a regional South Russian dialect, accompanied by a haunting folk soundtrack that deepens the atmospheric experience. Gameplay revolves around a diverse mix of mini-games and tasks that test combat skills, dexterity, and attentiveness. Players will battle sinister spirits and mythical forest lords such as Vodyanoy, Bolotnik, and Leshy while also managing everyday chores like washing dishes, tidying Baba Yaga’s hut, and baking traditional pirogi. The game challenges players to sneak past dangerous creatures undetected, escape dense fog, and navigate confusing terrain, all while gradually uncovering the rich lore behind the characters and customs of Slavic folklore. A built-in encyclopedia, developed with input from a folklorist, offers deeper insight into the myths and traditions that underpin the game’s world, making Vasilisa and Baba Yaga a distinctive blend of spooky storytelling and engaging gameplay rooted in cultural heritage.
