Reviews

"This astonishing short Twine game combines beautiful art with beautiful writing to create something...well, it begins with a B. Play it, even if you think you don't like Twine games – then play it again."
- Tom Sykes, PC Gamer

"[The Domovoi] is plucked from Slavic folklore and the actors are new to me, which made playing through the brief encounter a pleasant educational experience. It helps that the story is delightfully – if sparsely – illustrated, flickering with a glow that fits the setting and mood."
- Adam Smith, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
