A tyrannical monarch dispatches you to the frozen frontier of a Slavic-inspired dark realm, tasking you with establishing a fortified outpost in lands no civilization has dared claim. Your settlement must take root along the boundary of a cursed forest, where ancient horrors and demonic entities born from folklore perpetually threaten the fragile community you're building. Survival demands more than walls and resources—you must preserve your villagers' mental resilience and spiritual conviction as they face unrelenting darkness, all while navigating morally ambiguous choices and sinister pacts that the surrounding evil demands. Every decision carries weight in this grim struggle to anchor human civilization within a haunted, hostile territory.
