Enter Dark Slavic Folklore in One-Eyed Likho
June 23, 2025 – Morteshka, the studio behind Black Book and The Mooseman, has announced the release date for its upcoming folk horror adventure One-Eyed Likho, launching July 28, 2025 on Steam.
Rooted in the Slavic tale of The One-Eyed Likho, the game takes players to a grim corner of 19th-century Russia. In this stark, monochrome world, you'll wander through dense forests and decaying cottages in search of Likho, the one-eyed embodiment of misfortune, as you try to escape your cursed fate.
Don’t Go Looking for Evil… You Might Find It
In this first-person horror adventure, players uncover a tale of mystery, dread and an inevitable fate. With nothing but a few matches, you'll navigate the shadows, using fire to solve puzzles and fend off the darkness. But time is running out, and the Likho drawing nearer.
What begins as a journey for answers soon turns into a fight to understand the curse that haunts you. And now, there's no turning back from the path that led you to Likho.
