[h1]What's a Molfar?[/h1]
[i]A Molfar (Ukrainian: мольфа́р) is a person with purported magical abilities in Ukrainian Hutsul culture. The Molfar combines the features of a healer, a magician and a fortune teller . To a certain extent, the Hutsul Molfar corresponds to the Cossack Harakternik.[/i]
[h1]And what's The Molfar: Call of Heart?[/h1]
I think it's a quickly produced game to deal with the danger of losing your culture through war. It comes as an adventure game in the aesthetics of Cossack mysticism, set in the alternate history of Ukraine. The game shines with full Ukrainian voice-over in the intro, the ingame conversations and the protagonists soliloquies.

On the technical side, The Molfar, like its predecessor, is pretty basic, everything works like it should. The graphics are how you can expect them in an indie-game made with Unity. The game is saved when entering another world, so each world is like a little permadeath game itself. At the beginning, english speaking gamers should adjust the language. I created a guide with screenshots to make it easier.
While the studios first game, CosmoOdyssey:Trip to Mars, was set in a very small space-ship, The Molfar: Call of Heart features a huge world the player can experience. I deliberately wrote "experience" instead of "explore" because the cities in The Molfar, Vitov and Orbita, are very clean. The cities are described as [i]new cities that do not fit into the general Ukrainian architecture.[/i] They're influenced by the architecture of [i]Le Corbusier[/i].
Due to the mystical events the protagonist researches during the game, most of the inhabitants of the world have vanished. Feelings of loneliness and danger dominate the atmosphere. You meet evil spirits which occupied the city and you fight them with your magic. The people you meet talk to you in Ukrainian which is very positive for the immersion. The characters are well-written and unique. I really enjoy the game and recommend it to those who want to dive deeper into Ukrainian Culture and Ukrainian Indie-Video-Gaming.

The mouse stopped working after the first dialogue. mouse buttons seem to work but it doesn't tilt/pan. tried reloading and it's still the same. Esc>menu and the cursor moves. Back to the game, and it doesn't. Shame. It would have been interesting to play the game a bit, oh well.
Slava Ukraine anyway and thank you for your efforts :) no biggie
