BLACKTAIL is a surreal, story‑driven first‑person action‑adventure inspired by Slavic folklore, where players forge the legend of Baba Yaga by journeying into mysterious woods filled with spirits, myth, and danger. In the game, you take on the role of Yaga, a 16‑year‑old girl accused of witchcraft and exiled from her village. As she ventures into the enchanted forest, Yaga must hunt down the spectral memories of her past — living spirits that hold the key to her history and her missing sister.
The core gameplay blends intense archery combat, resource gathering, potion crafting, and magical abilities, set against an atmospheric world rich in fairy‑tale imagery and lore. A morality system shapes not just how characters perceive you but also affects your skills, abilities, and the narrative’s outcome, letting you choose a path of compassion or ruthless power. While BLACKTAIL hasn’t been officially released natively for Mac, players have discussed running it on Apple Silicon Macs using compatibility tools like the Apple Game Porting Toolkit, showing it can be played on Mac hardware despite a Windows‑focused release.
