You don't play as a knight, a bogatyr, or a mercenary. Your hero is a simple young man with a gusli, so his only weapons are eloquence and music. A single careless word can turn a conversation hostile. One well-chosen reply can set a girl's heart aflutter. Converse, play the gusli, make friends, enemies, and lovers, and lead Ivan to one of several possible endings.***Novgorod, 13th century. Ivan is a humble gusli player who has come to the city to seek his fortune and find a bride. One day, he falls in love with the prince's daughter and dreams of marrying her, but the dream seems impossible—nothing ever goes Ivan’s way. At his lowest point, fate gives him a chance. Now, Ivan will live through a summer full of adventures in a magical Novgorod, uncover the mysteries of the female heart, win the princess’s love, and gain wealth and fame. But is it possible to have it all? Perhaps the series of choices will lead the hero to a very different destiny.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3681690/extras/a39584d31e3fe1e4e0adac86ff4eb6ce.avif?t=1777575441" width=616 height=100 /><ul class="bb_ul"><li>The plot is inspired by Russian medieval history and the epic songs of the Nordic tradition.</li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Travel through the fairy-tale medieval Novgorod, communicate with locals, experience adventures with each of the three girls - romantic, dangerous and funny.</li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Participate in side stories, learn more about the history and culture of the great Russian medieval city.</li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Complete musical mini-games: learn new epics and gusli tunes.
