Children of Birch
Steam"Children of the Birch" is a Slavic dark fantasy metroidvania inspired by classic games in this genre and the mythology of various Slavic peoples.
You wake up in an unknown place, surrounded by darkness and silence, with only the soft rustle of leaves trying to break the eternal silence. Your hands and feet are tied, and you realize that you are tied to a dying oak tree. You are exhausted, and your face has long been covered with bloody streaks. Summoning the last of your strength, you tear the decrepit, but still tenacious, rope. Falling from a tree, you see a single path that leads you into the unknown... Do you dare to find out what awaits you on this unknown path? The choice is yours!
