The story is set in a melancholic, Slavic mythology-inspired world, where players uncover the protagonist Mira's ties to mythological creatures and her lost heritage as the daughter of Mokosh. While the narrative attempts to explore deep themes and offers some interesting lore, it ultimately suffers from poor execution, lacking emotional depth and engaging character development. Despite its beautiful art and soundtrack, the storytelling feels linear and uninspired, with limited choices that fail to significantly alter the experience.
- “You realize that you are the lost daughter of Mokosh (Mother Earth) and you meet the stranger again who reveals his story to you.”
- “Set in a Slavic mythology-inspired magical world with short segments taking place in post-WWII Kraków, it tells the story of the eponymous Mira who finds herself in the aforementioned magical world, somewhat fogged memory and mysterious ties to the mythological creatures.”
- “The story is really deep and has a lot of metaphorical meaning.”
- “The story is poorly conceived, and even though it tries to provide a couple of powerful moments, they fall short of the intended impact because the narrative is just so cheap.”
- “Sadly, the storytelling, dialogue, and characters are barely worth mentioning.”
- “It wants to tell a story, but you jump around without any transitions.”
