Real gameplay · October 2026

It happens in your room.

Scan your room. Find Khoma's cap on your own wall, light the candles on your floor — then the walls start to bleed. Sit with the Cossacks, read the book, lay out the pages, look at her in the coffin.

Recorded on an iPhone, no AI clips. Turn the sound on.

Two phones. Two homes. One night. One of you is Khoma in the church, the other is Yurko in the hut of spirits. Neither of you wins alone.

It starts in your room

Blow out the candle.

The walls of your room go dark — and an old wooden church grows around you. A coffin stands in the middle. The sotnyk's daughter lies in it. You are the seminarian Khoma Brut, and you must read over her for three nights.

«Читай по ней три ночи…»

Three rules

Keep them, Khoma.

Stay in the circle.Draw it in chalk on your own floor. She cannot cross it — but she will look for a gap.
Read until dawn.Read the psalter out loud, or trace the lines with your finger. Stop, and something in the coffin moves.
Don't look.Whatever whispers behind you, whatever stands in front of you — do not look at him.
