The Story

In the old Collegium, young novices are sent into the wild lands of Eastern Europe to study the mythical creatures of Belarus.

You are one of these novices, compiling your own Bestiary — a manuscript of knowledge that will preserve the mysteries of Belarus for generations to come.

The Gameplay

Players journey across a modular map of hex tiles representing Forest, Field, Meadow, Swamp, Water (Lake), and Settlement sectors, managing resources, trading knowledge, and studying creatures.

Unique Features

✔ Seasonal & lunar rhythm — 4 seasons and 12 Full Moons, mirroring a real year.
✔ Creature diversity — beings may be good, evil, or neutral, but all are unique. You don’t fight them — you study them!
✔ Companions — Animals provide permanent bonuses to support your journey.
✔ Familiars — Malevolent spirits or demons that tempt players with high Victory Points but bring lasting penalties and curses.
✔ Replayability — Modular map and varied missions ensure no two years are alike.
✔ For all players — approachable as a family game, yet deep enough for experts.
✔ Authentic folklore — rooted in Belarusian legends, featuring spirits and demons rarely seen in modern games.
✔ Events & Time — Every Full Moon changes the game world, while seasons influence resources, movement, and the presence of creatures.
