The game from The Parasight centers on two sisters based on Slavic tales of the Baba Yaga. It's coming this winter to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.In Blacktail, you play as Yaga, a girl who is accused of witchcraft in early medieval times. Yaga becomes haunted by memories of her past and sets out to hunt them down in a journey through the woods. The announcement suggests there will be an element of choice, letting you become a good witch and protector of the forest, or an evil witch who haunts the nightmares of small children.
