Hardtail is a first-person adventure heavily inspired by the Slavic folk legend of Baba Yaga (opens in new tab). The protagonist is Yaga, but don’t worry: you won’t be bludgeoning foes with a pestle, because the combat in Blacktail is all about magical archery. In Blacktail, Yaga is a « 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and expelling from a medieval Slavic settlement, » and during her hunt for the spirits that haunt her, she’ll make some agonizing decisions that will affect the whole world—including those who have banished her.
