About This Game

Embark on an epic journey to the Thrice-Nine Kingdom and challenge Koschei the Deathless to save your immortal soul and become a true hero in Bylina, an action-adventure game rooted in Slavic folklore and myths. Take on the role of Kestrel, a young bogatyr born without hero's powers, shunned and underestimated by almost everyone. Conquer numerous ordeals, overcome insurmountable odds, and become a legendary hero whose tales will be told for ages to come.

Kestrel dreams of following in the footsteps of his father, a fabled bogatyr - but during what seems like a simple task, he finds himself in the dark and mysterious Thrice-Nine Kingdom where... he dies. To his surprise, the young hero is revived by a mysterious spirit with whom he must now share his body. Kestrel faces three daunting tasks: reclaim control over his soul, uncover an ancient mystery surrounding his new companion, and save the world from imminent doom.

Discover a vibrant and extraordinary world based on Slavic myths and legends. Journey through the Land of Towns, boasting diverse locales - from sunlit forests to gloomy dungeons and imposing castles, each with their own unique features and atmosphere. As soon as you open new areas, prepare to encounter strange local inhabitants, as well as countless challenges, treasures, and puzzles waiting to be solved.

Improve your skills by mastering unique techniques and spells, and engage in fierce battles with common bandits, terrifying legendary creatures, and brutal bosses in which every mistake could be your last.

Expand your arsenal, embracing mysterious magical powers as well as a variety of armaments, from swords and shields to spears and bows. Level up, increase your strength, create new items, find and experiment with rare types of armor, and fight back against an ancient evil.

The eternal struggle between good and evil is not as obvious and clear-cut as it seems at first glance in the world of Bylina; its inhabitants experience complex inner lives filled with their fears, anxieties, hatred, and scars left by past trials that have shaped them into who they are today. Kestrel will have to face not only legions of powerful foes in combat; but also the emotions, feelings, and struggles that make a true human soul.
