Blacktail is a horror survival game rooted in Slavic folklore and tells the origin of Baba Yaga as you guide her on a path to becoming the guardian of the forest, or the fearsome witch of the East. Check out our full preview at Hey Poor Player.
NoobFeed Editor Daman Shelley writes - BLACKTAIL feels like an interactive folk story; with the use of Slavic myths as well as its own original ideas, the storytelling and immersion are truly excellent. Despite all the praise, combat is a huge drawback and does bring the story down quite a bit, but BLACKTAIL is truly like no other and gives an excellent twist to a classic folk story. BLACKTAIL is currently available on Steam.
XBA says: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? You'll quickly discover that it's the journey that matters.
Waiting for a physical copy if there ever is one for PS5 . Looks decent but I rather have a physical copy . Why does PC and Xbox generally only mark those platforms when it’s a multiplat but generally PS reviews and articles more often than not mark them for every platform ?
I bought this game because of reviews and i quickly remembered why I don’t listen to reviews.

Child murder is such a strange overarching implication of many classic fables we tell our children. Two of the three little pigs were murdered. Little Red Riding Hood, attempted murder. Humpty Dumpty, need I say more? With this in mind, it’s no wonder that The Parasight latched onto an idea of dark whimsy for Blacktail, an action-adventure survival game steeped in folk stories and fairy tales. This begs the question, which of the three little piggies is Blacktail exactly; straw, sticks or stone?
Oh hell yeah, sounds dope. An interesting premise with a young yaga. It is pretty cool how Baba Yaga was seen as both good and evil. A boogeyman for some and a protector for others.
