The game claims full historical fidelity, uses 100 % Russian voiceover, and is available on Windows, macOS and Linux with single‑player, Steam achievements, leaderboards and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Skills Tree
A skills tree lets players learn 26 secret techniques such as “Slavic clamp with eggs” and “Slavic fire with buns”, described as drawn from the oldest birch bark manuscripts.
These techniques are presented as “ancient Slavic education” that grant powers linked to Baikal water and the lightning of Perun.
- Group technique names by recurring words to notice thematic patterns.
- Track the order in which techniques are unlocked to observe any narrative progression.

Battle Locations
Combat occurs in named fronts: Baikalsk, Tyva, South African Russia and Peleduisky, each described as a historic site of the first Russ‑Lizards war.
Each location features a distinct objective, for example cutting out lizards under Baikalsk or protecting a trading way in South African Russia.
- Note the geographic diversity; it may affect visual design.
- Reference location names when discussing progress with other players.
