Über Vertepnyky: Prologue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vertepnyky іs an interactive visual novel, which goes beyond the canons of the genre.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plot
Far-far-far-far away, there is an island — Barracuda. If you look at it from above, you will see the mountain peaks, the whale silhouettes and the lighthouse, which signals not for ships, but for people. Once flooded with sunshine, nowadays fully covered with snow. Thousands of human footprints tell the story of this land: clan wars, truce, rises and falls, the Blizzard and finally peace... Or not?..
Outlaw spectacles, unexpected unions, unmasking, kidnapping, letters and prophecies — the gods left this place, so the citizens are waiting for you to take charge and reveal the truth about their world; the place, where Orlan and Tsap cannot agree with each other. Enter the game if you wish to get to know yourself. Walk to the end of the way to find out what hides behind Vertepnyky’s masks. And the one that doesn't belong to them.
