Step back into the 1990s, a time of upheaval following the USSR's collapse, where an ancient evil has awakened. In Vasilisa, players are thrust into a chilling survival horror adventure set in a remote village plagued by a dark spirit possessing a local girl.

This malevolent entity heralds the arrival of monstrous forces, threatening to transform the entire kolkhoz into a realm of terror.

Overview

Vasilisa blends co-op survival horror with a unique folklore-inspired narrative. Set in the post-Soviet era, the game tasks players with forming a team to combat an encroaching darkness.

The core objective involves gathering rare ingredients and brewing a magical potion in Baba Yaga's hut to lift a curse from Vasilisa, the possessed girl, before the village succumbs to the supernatural onslaught. Exploration of eerie locations, resource management (including strategic reserves of vodka), and confronting fairy-tale monsters are central to the experience.

Highlights

  • Cooperative Survival Horror: Team up with up to three friends for a shared terrifying experience, or brave the horrors alone in single-player mode.
  • Mythological Setting: Immerse yourself in a dark fairy tale inspired by Slavic mythology, set against the backdrop of the 1990s post-Soviet landscape.
  • Brewing and Exploration: Gather mystical components and essential supplies, including a touch of local spirit, to craft a powerful potion and push back the encroaching evil.
