- Black Book is Coming Out on Aug 10, 2021 - 22 July 2021
Hey everyone! Black Book came a fairly long way to this point: we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, launched the prologue, and spent lots of time developing and polishing the game over the past year. You, in turn, have been supporting us all the way, inspiring us to keep working tirelessly. It’s been a long, sometimes tough, yet exciting and fruitful road — and this road is finally coming to a finish line now. We’re extremely delighted to announce that Black Book will be launching on all platforms on August 10 @ 10AM PT, which happens to be the 222nd day of the year 2021!

Well, those posts were the hints — try looking at them with the information you’ve got now, you’ll be quite surprised, promise :) The game…
- Announcing our new game - Black Book, an Adventure RPG! - 16 January 2020
Hey everyone! First off, I’d like to thank all of you for the warm reception for our first title, The Mooseman. It was great seeing all of the interest and positive comments on the game we have worked so hard on. Today, we’re announcing the next project from the Morteshka team: a story-driven RPG called Black Book. →Steam Page← WHAT IS THE BLACK BOOK?

- An Update - Linux Verison - 17 September 2017
* We've uploaded the Linux build * English text was completely revised and now the translation should not be unacceptable * German translation was fixed and should be OK as well * Several otimizations, that should reduce small freezes. Especially on Ort walking scene. The bone forest achievement bug still eludes us, so if you encounter it please send us the output_log.txt. --- * Загружена сборка под Linux * Английский текст вычитан и откорректирован и теперь не должен выглядеть переведенным в гугл-транслейт * Немецкий перевод также исправлен * Небольшие оптимизации, которые должны привести к снижению фризов, особенно на сцене с ортами, идущими по паутине. Небольшой апдейт по поводу леса костей: никак не удается отловить ошибку. Выкатили апдейт с новой версией Unity, возможно поможет, но не факт. Если после обновления вы поймали ошибку, пожалуйста пришлите output_log.txt.

- The Mooseman looks like a beautiful wintry myth game - 21 February 2017
The Mooseman is another one of those games which caught my eye for its colour palette – greyscale plus teal – but then went on to sound legit interesting in the description field. I love it when that happens: “You are the Mooseman and you have the ability to see all that is hidden to the mortal eye.” …

- The Mooseman Release Date, Price and More - 11 February 2017
Hey everyone! Vladimir here to tell you about why we make a release at 17th of February exactly, what will be the price and such stuff. Our game is dedicated to the pagan finno-ugric mythology of ancient permian tribes, local to the town that our small team lives in (Perm, Russia). Mythology was materialized in bronze casted objects, with a unique style, called Perm Animal Style and these artefacts were the foremost inspiration for the game. All these myths that the object depict were lost during christianization process, so we had to reconstruct them, and we did that as best as we could. The descendants of these so called Chud' tribes are now known as Komi-Permians. It is their ancestors who created all the bronze animal style objects. So the date of the release was chosen for a reason. 17th February is the day celebrating the Komi-Permian language, which now slowly disappears from reg…
