In the wilderness of the northern forest…

Welcome to an alternative Scandinavia of the 19th century. In this universe, it is almost impossible to find the line between myth and reality - cities that have become flagships of industrialization coexist with the vast expanses of the north, full of mysterious creatures.

Mysterious creatures of the north… For the most part, they prefer to exist in the twilight, hidden from people, but... They do not sleep. They are here, next to you, just reach out your hand.

No matter how much progress a person makes in scientific knowledge of the world, incomprehensible fears will haunt him relentlessly. And even more so if these fears have a real embodiment.
